Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedWheat Chex cereal is recommended during pregnancy as an outstanding source of whole grains and iron. It delivers dense dietary fiber, fortified folic acid to support fetal neural tube closure, and substantial iron to prevent anemia. Serve a standard one-cup portion with pasteurized dairy milk or fortified soy milk. Add a side of orange slices or fresh strawberries to boost the absorption of the cereal's non-heme iron.
