“We tend to see hot cereal sales start to increase in October,” continues Nanda Desai. “School has started, the nights draw in and the clocks go back. As the weather turns colder, consumers warm to Ready brek’s nutritional credentials – all green traffic lights on the pack; oats, vitamins, minerals and no added salt or sugar*. So, it’s important grocery retailers and wholesalers ensure Ready brek is front of mind in the coming weeks.”
