Many Americans fall short on calcium and vitamin D in their diet. To help address this gap, most flavors of Original Style Yoplait were reformulated to provide an excellent source of calcium and a good source of vitamin D. The nutrition profile of Light Style Yoplait also underwent a change. Yoplait Light yogurts now provide 80 calories, 7 grams total sugar and 1 gram of added sugar (down from 90 calories, 10 grams total sugar and 4 grams of added sugar). In Mexico, we reduced added sugar by 78% in our Nature Valley Fruteria snack bar and added 13 grams of fiber per 100 grams. With this formulation improvement, whole grain oats are now the first ingredient. Product reformulation highlights Sustainable diets The World Health Organization has identified Sustainable Healthy Diets as dietary patterns that promote an individual’s health and well-being; have low environmental pressure and impact; are accessible, affordable, safe and equitable; and are culturally acceptable. General Mills supports this perspective, and we are focused on providing nutrient-dense foods that contribute healthful ingredients, including whole grains and low-fat dairy, to the diet. We also invest in regenerative agriculture to reduce environmental impact, restore soil health, and support farming communities. Our packaging team continually explores renewable materials and new opportunities to reduce packaging while keeping foods fresh.

Wonderworks is the newest cereal brand from General Mills, with 3 grams of net carbs and 17 grams of protein per serving. n Weight management – Fiber One bars and brownies are smart choices for consumers looking for tasty ways to enjoy their favorite snacks while managing their weight. Our Yoplait Light brand has been a calorie-controlled yogurt for years and was recently reformulated to have less sugar and fewer calories. n Heart-healthy – Cheerios Original and Honey Nut Cheerios , staples in many households, are made from whole grain oats, which contain beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol as part of a heart-healthy diet. n Gluten-free – We offer many gluten- free products.
