Do+cereals+have+too+much+salt+for+toddlers%3F


 

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 ingredients list
