Some
contain more salt than others therefore advise parents and carers to choose cereals with as little as possible. Some breakfast
cereals are enriched with vitamins and iron and make a good contribution to
your toddler’s daily diet. Cereals should not be excluded; it’s more about making
the right choices.
In addition, fruit
and milk can be added to make a healthy breakfast or snack. Advise parents to…
- …choose cereals lower in salt (less than 0.7g salt or
0.27g sodium per 100g of cereal)
- …choose wholegrain cereals some of the time
- …choose cereals low in sugar (less than 8g of sugar
per 100g of cereal)
- ...try to avoid cereals with oil or fat in the
