These are the 10 most sugary breakfast cereals (and the 10 least)

Health campaigners have criticised the Government for its “appeasement” of the food industry after it emerged some of the nation’s most popular breakfast cereals contain more sugar than they did in 2012.

The public health campaign group Action on Sugar found 14 out of 50 cereals tested contained at least 33.3g of sugar, or eight teaspoons, per 100g.
