To get your day off to a great start, your breakfast should include a good serving of vitamins and minerals, because they’re essential for a healthy diet. That’s why we fortify our breakfast cereals

A ‘whole’ grain has more nutrients than a ‘refined’ grain, because all parts of the grain are retained – kernel, bran, endosperm and germ – along with their fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. But most of the bran and germ are removed when producing refined grains. Whole grains therefore contain more nutrients than refined grains.

Social Media Reply: 

A ‘whole’ grain has more nutrients than a ‘refined’ grain as most of the bran and germ are removed when producing refined grains.

Yes, we apply the same standards all over the world to make sure all our products are of the same quality. We also make sure we meet the individual needs of different regions. For example, we add zinc to our cereals in Latin America because there is a specific need for zinc in that region.

The bran’s the outer layer of the grain. It protects the seed and is rich in fiber. It’s used in whole grain flour, not white flour.

The endosperm is the biggest part of the grain. It mainly contains carbohydrates. It’s the reserve the young plant lives on until its grown roots. The endosperm is milled to make white flour.

Yes, we ‘fortify’ our cereals by adding vitamins and minerals to most of them, although the amount varies across regions and depends whether fortification is allowed. Whenever a vitamin or mineral is added to one of our cereals, we make sure it provides at least 15% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) for that nutrient.

Yes. If a food product has the word “whole” listed on its ingredient label – wholewheat pasta or wholemeal bread, for example, then you know it’s been made with whole grain flour, even if the other ingredients are processed. By the way, even whole grains need to be processed: removing the inedible outer husk makes them safe to eat. But they’re less processed than refined grains, which require additional steps to remove the bran and germ.

Social Media Reply:

Yes sure. If a food product has the word “whole” listed on its ingredient label – whole-wheat pasta or whole meal bread, for example, then you know it’s been made with whole grain flour, even if the other ingredients are processed.

• 1 grain-based starchy food.

• 1 dairy food.

• 1 portion of fresh fruit.

• 1 glass of water

• Optionally, an additional source of protein Nestlé breakfast cereals are a nutritious breakfast choice as they are:

- A source of fiber and whole grain

 - Fortified with vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, calcium and iron

- A lower calorie per kilojoule, fat and sugar choice than many other breakfast food options.

Social Media Reply

Hi, It should include one grain based starchy food, one dairy food, one portion of fresh fruit, one glass of water. Fortified with vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, calcium and iron.

Two things to remember:

• Look for food labels where the word 'whole' appears in front of the name of the grain, like “whole wheat” or “wholemeal bread”.

• For foods with more than one ingredient, make sure whole grain is listed towards the top of the ingredients list.

The further up the list it is, the more whole grain has been used in the recipe. And look out for the percentage of whole grain. You should find this in the ingredients list too.

It’s easy to know if a Nestlé breakfast cereal is made with whole grain: just look out for the Green Banner and whole grain tick on top of the box.

Our serving recommendation of 30g (i.e. 6 – 7 tablespoons) is based on children’s daily energy needs. 

For adults our serving recommendation 7-9 tablespoons.

For a nutritious and balanced meal, one serving of NESQUIK cereals are best served with 125 ml semi-skimmed milk, a fruit, and an extra source of proteins.

The germ is the embryo the new plant grows from. It’s used in whole grain flour, not white flour.

Whole Grain” means that all parts of the grain are present: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. These three components of a grain contain different nutrients, which play an important part in helping the plant grow and stay healthy.

Because children and teenagers have different daily energy needs to adults, they need different size portions to help them meet their recommended daily allowances (RDA) of nutrients. It’s generally recommended that breakfast provides around 20% of daily energy intake. For a child aged 4-8 years old, we recommend a portion size of between 25-30g, as part of a balanced breakfast, but for an adult this would be on average 30-45g.

Keep it simple: make grains the base of your diet and choose whole grains over refined grains wherever possible. U.S Dietary Guidelines recommend eating 3 servings (48g) a day. So, whenever you look for breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, rice or flour to cook at home, look for the word “whole”, ideally among the first ingredients in the list.

It’s widely accepted that iron is an important part of a healthy diet and many people around the world don’t get enough. Our cereals generally contain 15% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. Check the label to see the iron levels in your cereal.

The amount of whole grain we add to our breakfast cereals depends on the type of cereal. It’s easier, technically, to add it to some of them than it is to others.

All Nestlé breakfast cereals carrying the green banner are made with whole grain; this is our Whole Grain Guarantee. They are made with at least 8g or more of whole grain per 30g serving. There are ingredient lists on all packs, showing the exact amount. By end of 2015, we’re committed to making whole grain the main ingredient in all Nestlé cereals popular with children.

A ‘whole’ grain has more nutrients than a ‘refined’ grain, because all parts of the grain are retained – kernel, bran, endosperm and germ – along with their fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

It’s widely accepted that iron is an important part of a healthy diet and many people around the world don’t get enough. Our cereals generally contain 15% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. Check the label to see the iron levels in your cereal.

To get your day off to a great start, your breakfast should include a good serving of vitamins and minerals, because they’re essential for a healthy diet. That’s why we fortify our breakfast cereals. We add Vitamin D to many of our children’s cereals, because in most countries kids aren’t getting enough of it. And FITNESS® is fortified with vitamins and minerals of interest to women, like calcium, iron and folic acid.

Nestlé breakfast cereals are usually fortified with a minimum of 5 vitamins (B2, B6, niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), folic acid (B9), and, in some recipes, vitamin D), and 2 minerals (calcium and iron).

Yes, we apply the same standards all over the world to make sure all our cereals are of the same quality. We also make sure we meet the individual needs of different regions. For example, we add zinc to our cereals in Latin America because there is a specific need for zinc in that region.

Yes, we ‘fortify’ our cereals by adding vitamins and minerals to most of them, although the amount varies across regions and depends whether fortification is allowed. Whenever a vitamin or mineral is added to one of our cereals, we make sure it provides at least 15% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) for that nutrient.
