Summary


Breakfast cereals were the first category in the supermarket where health became the "standard", with almost all products vitamin- and/or mineral-fortified. The challenge in breakfast cereals today is not to be healthy - rather it is to offer a health benefit which can create and sustain a genuine point of difference.

With 17 case studies covering ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals, hot oat cereals and even liquid breakfast, the 89-page Health Benefit Platforms and Strategies in Breakfast Cereals provides a comprehensive analysis of some of the reasons why some strategies have succeeded and others haven't in one of the most fiercely competitive of all categories.
