VIDEO: Pupils create their own cereal bar


Published on Friday 27 June 2008 11:57

Schoolgirls get a taste of industry during a visit to Jordans Cereals in Biggleswade

A team of schoolgirls got a taste for industry, when they visited Jordans Cereals to produce their own breakfast bars.

The pupils from St Andrew's School in Kimbolton Road, Bedford, devised the recipe and designed the packaging for the bars as part of a school project.

And last week they went to the Jordans' base at Holme Mill in Biggleswade to see a batch of 2,500 bars created on the production line. The bars then went on sale at last weekend's school summer fair and were a sell-out success.

Jessica Norris, 15, who lives in Blunham, said: "It has been really exciting to see how the bars are made. We had great fun when we were designing them, but this has been even better. You don't really think about how they manufacture the bar, they just taste nice and you eat them.

"My favourite part has been tasting the samples. We got to taste every ingredient before it got mixed in."

The St Andrew's recipe was a mixture of oats, Rice Crispies, sultanas, cashew and pecan nuts, pear pieces and slices of apple, all held together in true Jordans fashion by using only natural ingredients – water, sugar, glucose, honey and oil.

While the girls had previously enjoyed a snack preview when they were helped to make up a prototype on a previous visit to the Jordans test kitchen, last week's visit created the genuine article.

G

eneral manager Mark Fenton said: "Jordans does not manufacture a children's cereal bar range, so the girls' task was to design one.

"The girls came to see us and gave presentations on their ideas, and they were so good they even put some of the people who work here to shame. We then picked the best one, and got the girls back here to make up the bars.

"We have all tried the finished article as they came of the machines. And they were delicious."
