Nestle launches new Cerelac brand

Babies from the age of six months and above can now look forward to spicing up their diet as Nestle Ghana has introduced a new addition to its Cerelac brand.

The new Cerelac Millet is fortified with iron; this is to check the iron deficiency in children. It is estimated that about 78% of children under five years in Ghana are anaemic. The product is also fortified with Bifidus BL® probiotics to support their growth and development.

Grace Nkrumah, Brand Manager-Nestle Nutrition said “While breastmilk remains the main source of nutrients for babies six months and below, Nestlé Cerelac Infant Millet Cereal makes for an excellent complementary food for babies after six months, to fulfil their nutritional needs for growth and development.”

She added that “Children are being exposed to more environmental challenges. It is important for parents to nourish and strengthen them from inside out, so that their bodily defences are sturdy enough to fend off unwanted germs. BL® Bifidus probiotics helps to fight against harmful bacteria to maintain a healthy digestive system.”

Cerelac instant cereals include a range of nutritious, easily-digested instant cereals suitable as a complementary food for infants from six months onwards, when breast milk alone no longer meets the baby's growing nutritional requirements. It is however not a breast milk substitute.
