The previous levels of sugar were 21g, 19g and 22g respectively.
Zoe Brimfield, senior brand manager at Weetabix, said: “Whilst Weetabix and Weetabix Minis will continue to lead the way on best in class nutrition in the cereal category, taste remains paramount to us. It’s an important attribute driving sustainable value sales in the category and our refreshed pack reflects this. We’re confident Minis will continue to be a firm favourite for families and go down a treat at the breakfast table.”
US manufacturer Post acquired Weetabix for GBP1.4bn (then US$1.76bn) in April 2017.
