Shreddies reduces salt

Shreddies, one of the UK’s favourite family breakfast cereals, has been reformulated to reduce salt content by 15 per cent. From March, a typical 45g serving with 125ml of semi-skimmed milk now contains just 0.5g of salt – that represents just nine per cent of an adult’s guideline daily amount.

The good news is that with every bowl of over 250 million servings of Shreddies that are consumed every year, you can be guaranteed they taste just as good as ever.

Nestlé nutritionist, Dr Clare Leonard comments "We’re very much aware of how important a nutritious breakfast is for health and well-being. As part of our ongoing commitment, we’re continually trying to make all of our cereals even healthier. This latest salt reformulation for Shreddies demonstrates that commitment. It goes without saying that alongside our nutritional improvements, our cereals taste as good as ever."
