COOKIE CRISP® CEREAL

Our cereals do contain sugar - but it isn’t the main ingredient as cereal is made mostly from grain. Since 2013 we have reduced sugar in our products by 20%. Click here to read out more about our efforts to improve the nutritional profile of our cereals.

Whole grain provides a range of vitamins, minerals, fibre, starch and other nutrients – that’s why it’s often recommended we eat three to four services a day (Eatforhealth.gov.au 2015, 'How much should I eat from the grain (cereal) group?' para. 5). Breakfast is a good way to get some whole grain early in the day.

When cereals are ‘fortified’, it means they contain added vitamins and minerals to help our body work well. One 30g serving of a Nestlé fortified cereal can help your family get the vitamins and minerals they need every day. Read more about fortified cereals here.

No. As tastes vary from region to region, the amount of sugar we add to our cereals depends on where they’re being sold. But we’re committed to ensuring the added sugar levels in our products for children and teenagers won’t exceed 9g per 30g serving from the end of 2015. And we’re always looking for ways to reduce sugar in our products – wherever in the world they’re sold.

You should have a mix of carbohydrates, fibre, protein, vitamins & minerals, and you can choose pretty much what you like, as long as you pick from the different food groups: grains, fruit and dairy - and of course a glass of water.

Having whole grain as the main ingredient across our cereal range brings nutritional benefits like fibre that contributes to the great scores on some of our cereals. Also, our continued recipe improvements play their part, depending on the product. Read more
