The Earn and Learn program is a community program that helps schools and early learning centers across Australia earn educational resources. For every $10 a shopper spends at Woolworths, they receive one Woolworths Earn and Learn point. And as a bonus for every UNCLE TOBYSproduct purchased, the shopper will receive two Woolworths Earn & Learn Points.

Last year, Woolworths Earn and Learn program provided 720,000 pieces of educational equipment to more than 12,500 schools and early learning centres. The Woolworths Earn & Learn program offers products to suit students of all ages.

Schools and early learning centres can choose resources based on their unique needs, across every educational category possible, including mathematics and English resources, science equipment, arts & crafts materials, sports gear and more. Last year schools selected from thousands of different items through the program, highlighting how each school’s needs are different.

The announcement is the culmination of a five year program to reduce saturated fat, sugar and sodium across the UNCLE TOBYS cereal range, while increasing wholegrain and fibre.

UNCLE TOBYS Nutrition Manager, Nilani Sritharan, said the recipe changes mean that compared to its old recipes, UNCLE TOBYS is now using 67 tonnes less sugar and 2.5 tonnes less sodium, while adding 193 tonnes more wholegrain and 13 tonnes more fibre each year.

“Today, we are committing to consumers that by the end of January our entire range of UNCLE TOBYS cereals will meet the nutrition eligibility criteria of the new standard, meaning that every one of our cereals could carry a health claim,” Ms Sritharan said.

She said that changing cereals to improve their nutritional value while maintaining the taste and texture consumers prefer has been a challenge.

“We made a series of small changes to our cereals over the years to allow consumers to adjust slowly. We’re proud that the result is an improved product range that consumers continue to enjoy,” she said.

Announcement of the approval of the Standard for Nutrition, Health and Related Claims, which will become law in early 2013, creates stricter controls about on-pack health claims, including the need to provide scientific evidence to support claims and meet specific eligibility criteria including nutrition criteria.

“UNCLE TOBYS has been providing healthy breakfast choices to Australians for 120 years, and our ongoing commitment to nutrition means we have the largest range of breakfast cereals to earn the Heart Foundation Tick of approval,” Ms Sritharan said.

“A healthy and balanced breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and for consumers, this announcement is simply another reason to feel good about choosing an UNCLE TOBYS breakfast cereal.”

Cate Campbell, Matthew Cowdrey and Emily Seebohm have all been nominated .
