Cerelac 5 Fruits & Multi Grain350 gm (18-36 M)

Key Ingredients

We were unable to confirm a complete, current ingredient panel specific to this exact Bangladesh-market product. Cerelac cereals of this type are generally formulated around cereal flours (such as wheat and rice), milk solids, dried fruit pieces or purees (in this case, a mixed-fruit blend), vegetable oils, added vitamins and minerals, and often a probiotic culture (Bifidobacterium). We found ingredient panels for similarly-named Cerelac products sold in other countries (UK, Spain, Portugal), but these are different regional formulations and sizes, so we have not applied them here as if they were confirmed for this Bangladesh SKU. For the exact, current ingredient list, please check the physical packaging.

Key Features

This is an infant/toddler cereal from the Cerelac range, combining multiple grains with a five-fruit blend, generally positioned for children in the 18-36 month age range as a complementary food alongside breastmilk or other age-appropriate foods.

Benefits

The product is marketed as a convenient, fortified complementary food intended to help support a growing child's nutrient intake as part of a varied diet. As with all infant-nutrition marketing claims, this should be viewed as general positioning rather than a substitute for individualized medical or nutritional advice from a pediatrician.

Who Can Use This Product

This product is generally marketed for children around 18-36 months old, intended as a complementary food alongside breastmilk, formula, or other appropriate foods rather than a sole source of nutrition. Please confirm the exact recommended age range on the physical packaging, and consult a pediatrician before introducing any new food to your child, particularly if they have known allergies or health conditions.

Important transparency note: a 2024 investigation by Public Eye and the International Cerelac 5 Fruits & Multi Grain Action Network (IBFAN), covering 15 countries including Bangladesh, found that Cerelac products sold in many lower- and middle-income countries contain added sugar, while equivalent products sold in some European countries (such as Switzerland, Germany, France, and the UK) are formulated without added sugar. Bangladesh-specific reporting (The Business Standard, April 2024) cited an average of approximately 3.3g of added sugar per serving across sampled Cerelac products in Bangladesh, though this figure reflects a broader sample of the product line rather than a confirmed measurement for this exact SKU. Nestle has stated it has reduced added sugar in its infant cereals in recent years and has committed to further reformulation. We recommend checking the current nutrition label on the physical packaging and discussing added sugar intake for infants and toddlers with a pediatrician.

How to Use

Wash your hands and use clean utensils. Boil drinking water and allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature. Mix the cereal with the water according to the ratio specified on the packaging, stirring until smooth. Feed immediately using a clean spoon, and discard any unfinished portion rather than storing it for later use.

Storage & Safety

Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, close the packaging tightly after each use and consume within the timeframe stated on the package (commonly around 30 days after opening for products of this type). Do not refrigerate the prepared/mixed cereal; prepare only what will be consumed immediately. Always check the expiry date before use, and consult a pediatrician if your child shows any signs of an allergic reaction or intolerance.
