The invention describes the preparation of functional food products containing living bacteria, prepared by inoculation and fermentation of cereal flours (meal) or extracts. The resulting products have both nutrition and health benefit. Products include yoghurts (traditional and frozen), flummery, milks, and dried probiotic bacteria/cereal combinations. Compositions containing cereal flours (meals) and/or bran with .beta. glucan are disclosed that protect cultures and products containing bifidobacteria from competition with lactobacilli. This protection extends through the manufacturing process in addition to the shelf-life storage of the product and ensures that functional doses of probiotic bacteria are delivered to the end-user. The compositions contain soluble fibre from oats preferably at sufficient levels to comply with the US FDA requirements to make a health claim.
