In 2023, demand for breakfast cereals in the UK was severely impacted by inflationary pressures, primarily driven by the elevated costs of key raw materials such as wheat, sugar, and cocoa. The weak performance in volume sales was further exacerbated by the implementation of the HFSS regulation in October 2022, which limited the in-store and online presence of products classified as high in fat, sugar, and salt (HFSS) according to the government's nutrient profiling model.
