Weetabix is the latest company to enter the breakfast biscuit category following Kraft Foods’ launch of Belvita in 2010.
In June last year, Kellogg introduced breakfast biscuits under its Nutri-Grain brand. The US cereal manufacturer said breakfast biscuits had “huge potential” but had so far not won over many UK consumers. It said 16% of households had tried the products already in the market.
