News Releases
TORONTO, July 22, 2004 — Kellogg Canada recently introduced three new cereal innovations to the breakfast table. Kellogg’s* Special K* CarbFit*, Kellogg’s* Froot Loops* 1/3 Less Sugar and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes* 1/3 Less Sugar cereals were developed for Canadians to meet their needs for choice, taste and nutrition when they sit down for the most important meal of the day.
From monitoring their carb intake to developing a taste for reduced-sugar products (without artificial sweeteners), Canadians are becoming increasingly conscious of their diets. A first in the Canadian marketplace, these three new breakfast cereals are testament to Kellogg’s nutrition leadership in the food industry and ongoing commitment to provide consumers with choice, taste and nutrition.

Developed for consumers who have indicated a need for reduced-sugar cereals, Kellogg’s* Froot Loops* 1/3 Less Sugar and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes* 1/3 Less Sugar demonstrate a significant cereal category innovation for Kellogg’s. These new breakfast options complement the original versions of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes* and Kellogg’s* Froot Loops* cereals.
Both cereals are trans fat free, provide a source of seven essential nutrients, including iron and zinc, and contain no artificial sweeteners.
“Both Kellogg’s* Froot Loops* 1/3 Less Sugar and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes* 1/3 Less Sugar provide choice for parents and their families,” said Christine Lowry, Vice President, Nutrition and Corporate Affairs, Kellogg Canada. “Consumer research indicates that parents value the fact that Kellogg’s reduced-sugar cereals maintain great taste without the addition of artificial sweeteners. As a result, we’re confident that we have two great-tasting cereals that both parents and kids will
enthusiastically agree on.”
