CHEERIOS® Oat Cereal

If based outside KSA , you will need to purchase a pack of qualifying Nestlé Breakfast Cereals. Don’t worry, these packs are clearly marked with the campaign and can be found in all major retailers

The serving size we indicate on our packs is based on history of use, product density and average intake data (people actually consume around 30 to 45g). The recommended serving size for breakfast cereals depends on age, gender, and level of physical activity. We provide clear front of pack information to help people make informed decisions about what they eat for breakfast. We pioneered the adoption of the monochrome Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) system for displaying nutritional information.

To get your day off to a great start, your breakfast should include a good serving of vitamins and minerals, because they’re essential for a healthy diet. That’s why we fortify our breakfast cereals. We add Vitamin D to many of our children’s cereals, because in most countries kids aren’t getting enough of it. And FITNESS® is fortified with vitamins and minerals of interest to women, like calcium, iron and folic acid.

Yes, we ‘fortify’ our cereals by adding vitamins and minerals to most of them, although the amount varies across regions and depends whether fortification is allowed. Whenever a vitamin or mineral is added to one of our cereals, we make sure it provides at least 15% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) for that nutrient.

No. We have a wide variety of breakfast cereals. Some have added salt, some don’t. We display the amount on the pack’s nutrition information panel, so you know what you’re buying. In some countries we give the Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) for salt on the cereal pack, so you can see how much of your GDA you’re getting in each portion.

Two things to remember:

• Look for food labels where the word 'whole' appears in front of the name of the grain, like “whole wheat” or “wholemeal bread”.

• For foods with more than one ingredient, make sure whole grain is listed towards the top of the ingredients list.

The further up the list it is, the more whole grain has been used in the recipe. And look out for the percentage of whole grain. You should find this in the ingredients list too.

It’s easy to know if a Nestlé breakfast cereal is made with whole grain: just look out for the Green Banner and whole grain tick on top of the box.

Hello, Keep in mind to look for food labels where the word 'whole' appears in front of the name of the grain, like “whole wheat” or “wholemeal bread”, also make sure whole grain is listed on the pack for the food product with more than one ingredient.
