Four Kellogg’s breakfast cereals have gained FODMAP Friendly certification in Australia and will bear the green logo of assurance for those adhering to a low FODMAP diet.

 

The four breakfast cereals displaying the logo are Corn Flakes, Rice Bubbles, Corn Flakes Gluten Free, and Special K Gluten Free.

 

To celebrate its new FODMAP Friendly Certification, Kellogg is giving away three months of free packs of Corn Flakes and Rice Bubbles for the winner of a social media recipe competition which closes today.

 

The low FODMAP diet aims to help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is reportedly experienced by one in seven people worldwide.

 

FODMAP stands for Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, which are types of carbohydrates that are not well absorbed and can ferment in the large intestine.
