Cereal Partners UK (CPUK) has launched the first organic product for Cheerios made using organic hoops from five organically-farmed whole grains, and chocolate cereal pieces.
All ingredients for the Organic Honey and Chocolate Cheerios are sourced from farmers following organic farming practices and displays CPUK’s signature green banner indicating whole grain is the number one ingredient.
Toby Baker, Regional Marketing Director UK and Australia for Nestlé Cereals, said: “Given that £200m a month is now spent on organic food and drink in the UK, it’s clear that sustainably conscious consumers are looking for products that are good for our planet.
“This growing interest has intensified during the pandemic, with many families placing greater emphasis on leading better lifestyles, focused on wellbeing and sustainability.
“As a business, our promise is to make breakfast better as well as doing our bit to help protect the planet. Our breakfast cereals already come in packaging specially designed for a lower environmental impact with cereal boxes that can be easily recycled.
“The launch of Cheerios UK’s first organic cereal is yet another milestone in our own journey, which will also help meet growing consumer demand for organic products.”
As well as launching its new organic product, Cheerios UK has also announced a new partnership with The Bee Friendly Trust, a charity dedicated to creating habitats for honeybees and pollinators to help them thrive.
Through the partnership, CPUK will support the protection of the UK honeybee population, whose natural habitats are increasingly in danger.
Cheerios UK will be raising awareness of The Bee Friendly Trust and its work by providing opportunities for families across the UK to join CPUK in helping to protect vital feeding grounds for bees.
