Why so small Grain Waves?
PepsiCo (the parent company of
Sunbites), which makes Grain Waves, explains why its multi-pack bags are so tiny. It says it takes into consideration serving sizes and recommended intakes for kids because these bags often end up in lunch boxes. Its staff dietician Wendy Jeffrey explains that dietary guidelines for a snack serve for adults is 143 calories and for kids it's 83 calories, hence the 18g of product. She adds: "The Health Star Rating is calculated on a per 100g basis, so this rating remains the same no matter the pack, portion or serve size. It's also worth noting that Grain Waves are quite dense due to their high wholegrain content, and this particular product contains a minimum of 70 per cent wholegrains." PepsiCo claims 88 per cent of its packaging is recyclable.
