The Cheerios Vanilla O’s breakfast cereal is a new offering from Nestlé Cereals that is focused on providing consumers with access to a flavorful option to enjoy in the morning hours. The cereal is focused on a low-sugar recipe that has less than 5% sugar in the mix, while also being high in fiber with no artificial flavors or colors. The cereal is also fortified with vitamins and minerals.
Regional Marketing Director UKA at Nestlé Cereals Toby Baker spoke on the new Cheerios Vanilla O’s breakfast cereal saying, "It is our ambition to provide families with a nutritious start to the day and the launch of Cheerios Vanilla O’s further demonstrates our continued commitment to just that. This new addition to the well-loved family brand is not only non-HFSS, but also has whole grain as the number one ingredient and tasty enough for the kids (and parents) to finish the whole bowl."
