Nestlé Nesquik Strawberry cereal has been announced by Nestlé Cereals as its latest entrant to the UK and Ireland markets that brings a much-loved flavor of the brand's signature drink mix to a new category. The product brings the signature flavor of Nesquik Strawberry to a crispy, crunchy cereal format that's fortified with seven vitamins and iron to give it a wholesome nutritional profile. The cereal features spherical pink pieces that each have a creamy strawberry flavor that's achieved with no artificial colors or flavors as a nod to increasing consumer preferences for familiar foods with a free-from format.
Head of Marketing for Nestlé Cereals UK Sarah Fordy commented further on the Nestlé Nesquik Strawberry cereal saying, "We’re thrilled to introduce this much-loved Nesquik flavour to cereal for the very first time, building on more than 60 years of Nesquik Strawberry heritage in the UK. For families, it brings a new breakfast choice made with whole grains, high in fibre, and enriched with seven vitamins plus iron, all with the fun twist of turning your milk pink. Our aim has been to offer even more variety at breakfast while staying true to the playful spirit the Nesquik brand is known for."
