Providing a natural source of fibre, Weet-Bix/ Weetabix is also low in fat and sugar and contains five essential vitamins and minerals. Eating fortified breakfast cereals in the morning will help towards meeting your daily iron and vitamin B supplements.

Do not substitute with other cereals  which might be laden with sugar.
