What consumers see: “No refined sugar” but ~18–20 g sugars/100 g on the label.
Clear answer: On EU labels, “sugars” = all mono- & disaccharides present, from any source. In our granolas, sugars mostly come from dried fruit and palm jaggery (and honey in Honey Halo). Fibre (including FOS) is not counted as sugar on labels.
Berry Beat, where do the 18.9 g/100 g come from?
- Dried fruit (~12% of recipe) contributes natural fruit sugars.
- Palm jaggery (~9–10%) contributes sucrose (plus small glucose/fructose).
- Oats/nuts/seeds contribute small intrinsic sugars.
Label result: ~18.9 g/100 g (lab-verified).
Bottom line: No refined sugar; our sugars are inherent to fruit, jaggery, and only in Honey Halo, we use honey.
Honey Halo: includes real honey (~8%), hence ~20.5 g/100 g sugars.
Peanut Sync: similar fruit + jaggery profile → ~19.9 g/100 g.
Confusion: “100 g sugar looks high!”
Answer: EU labels standardize per 100g for fair comparisons. A typical serving is~45–50 g, which is about halfof the per-100 g numbers. Always compare like-for-like.
Confusion: “If there’s FOS, why isn’t it in ‘sugars’?”
Answer: FOS is dietary fibre, not sugar. That’s why it appears in fibre(and total carbs), not under “sugars.”
Confusion: “Is everything vegan?”
Answer: All products are plant-based except Honey Halo (contains honey). Look for the “No Honey / Vegan” filter to shop accordingly.
Confusion: “Are oats gluten-free?”
Answer: Oats are naturally gluten-free, our tests showed BQL, but cross-contact can occur in supply chains. We don’t claim certified gluten-free.
Confusion: “Do brands really use just 2–3% nuts?”
Answer: We use generous, double-digit levelsof nuts/seeds you can see and taste. Check each ingredient list for the exact %. We value clarity over claims.
