Some breakfast cereals 'as sugary as seven chocolate fingers'

Some of the unhealthiest cereals contain more sugar than they did in 2012, with children eating up to the equivalent of seven and a half Cadbury fingers for breakfast, according to a charity.

Action on Sugar said manufacturers claim to be improving the health of the nation’s breakfast, but 14 out of 50 cereals tested contained at least 33.3g of sugar, or eight teaspoons, per 100g.
