Baby cereals, wheat-based

Wheat-based baby cereals are dry cereal products made from wheat for infants, usually prepared with liquid before feeding. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, alongside minerals such as calcium and iron. Per 100g, the cereals in the supplied data provide 70g of carbohydrate, 19g of protein, 830mg of calcium and 18mg of iron.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports growth and tissue repair. Calcium contributes to the development of bones and teeth, and iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Wheat contains gluten, so these cereals are not suitable for people with coeliac disease. Preparation with milk or water changes the nutrient content per weight served. Full figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 4 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Cereals and Cereal Products Supplement, 1988.
