PepsiCo has announced its foray into the supergrains category with the launch of two new breakfast products under its Quaker brand.
The firm is introducing supergrain-based versions of its hot cereal and granola in the US.
“To Quaker, all whole grains are super in their own right and oats will always be the original super grain,” the firm began in a statement, adding that the launch aimed to meet demand as consumers “look to diversify their grain intake”.
The two new products, Quaker Supergrains Instant Hot Cereal and Real Medleys Supergrains Granola are available at grocery stores throughout the US now.
Quaker Supergrains Instant Hot Cereal features a blend of oats, barley, rye, flax and quinoa and is offered as a convenient instant oatmeal pouch. It features two variants: Honey Almond and Apples & Cinnamon.
