Asked how Kellogg has lowered the amount of sugar in the cereal and maintained the taste of the product, the company said: “Our innovation team has worked hard, using the highest quality ingredients, to develop a food that has less sugar, without compromising on taste. It takes a lot of testing to get it right, but we will only bring foods to market with lower sugar that people love.”

The reduction in sugar, which included a change to the coating of a Coco Pop, each pack weighs less than before.

“The 550g box now weighs 510g but the number of Coco Pops per box has increased from approximately 14,500 to 16,500. That’s a 15% increase,” the spokesperson said.

Kellogg made national headlines in 2010 when it announced a cut to the sugar in all of the products in the Coco Pops range then on sale in the UK.
