Thanks for all your feedback so far - Quaker would like to respond to some of your points - here's a message from them:

"Dear Mumsnetters,

Thank you all for trying our Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge and for taking the time to tell us what you think.

There are a few common points in your feedback that we?d like to address. Mums consistently tell us that they want less sugar in their children?s breakfast so Oat So Simple Kids Chocolate has 50% less sugar than the average branded Chocolate flavoured cereal or porridge. This does mean that it won?t taste as sweet as other Chocolate flavoured cereals which may take a bit of getting used to.

Children have different appetites and taste buds so it?s hard to get the size of the sachets and level of chocolateyness exactly right for everyone. The sachet weight varies across the different flavours as it depends on what ingredients are added and in what quantities. Specifically, the sachet weight of the Chocolate flavour pack is higher compared to other flavours as more Chocolate flavour is added. The ?100% Natural Ingredients? claim on pack refers to ingredients that occur naturally in nature, obtained using traditional food preparation processes.

Thanks again for the feedback. It?s very valuable to us so please keep it coming!

Your Quaker Team"

scrablet - sorry you didn't receive the porridge, you were selected to take part but unfortunately some of the porridge must have been lost in the post as a few people haven't received it either. Please ignore my emails, I will take you off my reminder list - thanks for letting me know.
