What we say
'Whole grain' is the latest catch-phrase in breakfast cereals. Whole grain foods are usually minimally processed and contain more of the natural constituents found in the grain than refined foods. These include vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals (these may provide protection against some cancers and heart disease). Use the ingredients list rather than front of pack claims to separate marketing hype from fact - if the first ingredient listed is whole grain then it's more likely to include these nutrients. And the greater the percentage, the better.
Some (not all) of the cereals that make up NESTLÉ Nesquik are wholegrains, so it contains more fibre than market leading KELLOGG'S Coco Pops. And it's half as salty. But it also contains more fat, and is similarly high in sugar.
The high sugar content means they're still not something that kids should be eating everyday but if you're after an occasional chocolatey breakfast treat then they'll at least be getting some fibre.
Additives listed: Calcium carbonate (170), Iron oxide (172).
