You said more whole grain & less sugar. So, we've listened and worked hard to improve, including making whole grain our main ingredient across the Nestlé Breakfast Cereals portfolio.
Why has Nestlé introduced Gluten Free Corn Flakes?
In 2014, we launched Gluten Free Corn Flakes in response to increasing demand for alternative breakfast cereal options. We were the first to bring gluten-free cereals to the mainstream cereal aisle at an affordable price. Our Gluten Free Corn Flakes provide an alternative for people looking for great-tasting breakfast cereal with no gluten, for example people with Coeliac Disease or gluten intolerance.
Is it better to eat gluten-free products or products containing gluten, such as wheat?
People with Coeliac Disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, need to avoid gluten, but others might simply choose to go gluten-free now and again. Whole grain foods may be suitable for everyone (except those requiring special diets), as they contain nutrients found naturally in all 3 parts of the grain. Dietary recommendations in many countries encourage consumption of whole grain foods as part of our daily grain intake.
Does including gluten-free products in one’s diet help them lose weight?
No. Gluten-free products are not linked to weight loss. People choose them if they’re sensitive to gluten or have Coeliac Disease.
Why does Nestlé fortify its breakfast cereals with iron?
It’s widely accepted that iron is an important part of a healthy diet and many people around the world don’t get enough. Our cereals generally contain 15% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. Check the label to see the iron levels in your cereal.
Why are Nestlé breakfast cereals fortified with vitamins and minerals?
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.
What vitamins and minerals does Nestlé fortify its breakfast cereals with?
Nestlé breakfast cereals are usually fortified with a minimum of 5 vitamins (B2, B6, niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), folic acid (B9), and, in some recipes, vitamin D), and 2 minerals (calcium and iron).
