Which Report on Cereals

[smurfchops]

Is there a list anywhere on the web, of all the cereals tested, and what the findings were ??

There are some reviews here. But bear in mind that this sort of thing is very subjective, and 'one man's meat is another man's poison!'. Also bear in mind that manufacturers have been known to slip their own glowing comments about their wonderful products into such review websites!!

You can download all the reports here

http://www.which.co.uk/

but you will have to become a member. Very interesting reading though.

Instead of having to become a member, could someone pretty please tell me about Weetabix in the test??

[snapdarlich]

Since you asked so nicely. LOL

Weetabix

4.7g Sugars per 100g - Green
1.9g Fat per 100g - Green
0.6g Saturates per 100g - Green
0.68 Salt per 100g - Yellow

Each category is colour coded either green to show it's low in amount, yellow to show medium amounts and red to show high amounts. When comparing this at a glance to most others it's quite healthy indeed. Those values do not include the milk though.

Glancing at the main list....it's only the salt content that pushes weetabix into second place. The better cereals for you are Shredded Wheat and Plain porridge oats. Hope that's a help.
