Do you have Nutrios over there across the pond??  Here in Canada, they are marketed by Heinz and are found in with other baby food (like baby cereal and jarred food/formula).  They are like Cheerios but have almost no salt/sugar...

Texomama, I agree that with many cereals, there is a negligible difference in sugar content. But for us, 10 or 11 grams of sugar in a breakfast cereal is too much (this is what our family practices, no judging) and we try to keep it under 5 grams. So Cheerios (1 gram) What Chex (5 grams) or Special K (3 grams) are more our speed.  All of the ones I just mentioned are nutritious as well with regard to iron content and daily vitamins.  Plus our dd is dye-free, so alot of breakfast cereals aren't an option.  Again, not judging, just explaining our position.   :)

Well we got some of those puffed wheat which are less than 1g of sugar so will report back.

I made a nice loaf cake yesterday with Weetabix that was sugar-free too!
Thanks!
Haven't heard of Nutrios Kara but will look out!
