The Shreddies The Simple One breakfast cereal from Nestlé Cereals in the UK is a new product that will speak to changing consumer preferences when it comes to prepackaged food varieties.
Containing just four ingredients, the cereal is made with whole grain wheat along with fruit puree, date syrup and just a pinch of salt. These ingredients give the cereal a free-from profile that is likely to be a hit amongst consumers looking to reduce the number of unknown ingredients in their diet.
Regional Marketing Director UK & Australia at Nestlé Cereals Toby Baker spoke on the new Shreddies The Simple One breakfast cereal saying, "We know that consumers are looking to eat more healthily, especially following the pandemic. Shreddies The Simple One is an exciting new addition to the breakfast table that caters to growing demand, with a delicious taste consumers will love. With increased interest in low sugar options, it offers retailers an opportunity to appeal to new consumers while driving sales."
