The Swiss group said it would also look to build on its recent efforts in Spain to reduce the amount of sugar in the cereals.

In 2013, Nestlé set a maximum of 9g per 30g serving of breakfast cereals amied at children. Two years later, the company pledged to reduce sugar by up to 30% in adult cereals.

“Nestlé is committing to continue this sustained effort and continue to progressively reduce the amount of sugar from here to 2020,” it said in a statement.

Earlier this week, in India, Nestlé announced plans to enter the country’s breakfast cereals market later this year.
