The shelf-stable, portable cereal bars work for multiple feeding models in K-12 schools.

WHAT:            Schools can now enjoy an on-the-go way to serve students the whole grains they need from popular cereal brands they love with the introduction of 2 oz. equivalent grain cereal bars from General Mills Foodservice. The shelf-stable and portable cereal bars offer a convenient solution for any meal occasion (breakfast, lunch or dinner) and are easy to distribute in any feeding model.

Available in a larger format (2.5 oz.) that appeals to kids of all ages, the individually-wrapped cereal bars come in three exciting flavors: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the #1 K-12 cereal brand1, as well as Peach Cheerios and Lucky Charms—new to the cereal bar line-up available in schools.
