MILO Wholegrain Cereal

Before you pack the school lunch box it's imperative that your children eat a nutritious breakfast that will give them the energy to keep going & learning until morning tea ( in some schools this can be as late as 11.00a.m).
The reformulated Milo cereal promises alot but, lets see if it delivers: manufacturers claim that it is a 'nutritious energy cereal, now better 4 you, the goodness of wholegrain with 10 essential vitamins and minerals'; 'it contains more fibre' and a 'great balance of carbohydrates to get your kids going'.

The top 3 ingredients are wholegrain cereal 53% ( wheat 36%, corn 17%);
                                       sugar(29.5g per 100g), & Milo (10%).
Added vitamins, malt extract ( a form of MSG), sunflower oil, soy lecithin, flavours (MSG), & salt (125mg per 100g) are the remaining ingredients.
Rosemary Stanton states: "Milo cereal piggy-backs on a national fondness for Milo, but with its high sugar content it cannot claim any superior moral ground for good nutrition even though the pack says it is 'now better 4 you'."
 Fresh fruit will give your children a much better start to their day. If you would prefer to provide a cereal try Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids (Wholegrain wheat (96%), raw sugar, minerals.)
