Survey reveals high sugar levels in breakfast cereals

The Consumer Association is calling for better labelling on children's breakfast cereals to show parents how much fat, sugar and salt they contain.

The association says a new survey has found that many cereals contain unacceptably high levels of sugar in particular.

Kellogg's Frosties have been found to contain the highest sugar levels at 40%, followed by Nestle's Golden Nuggets and Nesquik.

Rice Crispies, meanwhile, have the lowest levels of sugar among the nine products tested, but high levels of salt at 0.7%.
