Our take
CleanPlate reviewTrail mix whose fibre and sugar figures look wrong
Bolas Daily Dry Fruit Trail Mix is black raisin (30%), cashew (25%), almond (25%) and pumpkin seeds (20%), with nothing else. The pack is 30 g and the panel is printed per 100 g, with per-pack figures on the back.
CleanPlate scores it [L]EA3. The E for nutrition is low: only 14.3 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The declared fibre figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by black raisin, cashew and almond), and almost no additives. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 3 for risk is a floor, not a measurement: the printed total sugar (0 g) cannot hold with 30% raisins, so the grade is held at 3 until the maker confirms.
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packMisleading
“20.31 g fibre per 100 g (6.0 g per pack)”
Black raisin, cashew, almond and pumpkin seeds supply about 6 g of fibre per 100 g; the printed 20.31 g is not credited, and counting it would have raised the nutrition grade.
- On the packPartly true
“Protein rich. High in fibre”
Protein is 14.33 g per 100 g, above the 11 g line; the fibre half rests on the figure that looks too high.
- On the packHolds
“Only 146 calories”
488.74 kcal per 100 g is about 146 kcal in the 30 g pack.
- On the packBe careful
“100% nut-tricious snacks”
The mix is 30% raisins and 20% seeds as well as nuts.

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Black raisin (30%), cashew (25%), almond (25%) and pumpkin seeds (20%); nothing else is added.
Per 100 g: 489 kcal, 25.8 g fat of which 3.48 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 20.3 g fibre, 14.3 g protein, 14.9 mg sodium. Fibre of 20.31 g and total sugar of 0 g per 100 g do not fit the ingredients: the fibre is not credited and the sugar figure holds the risk grade at 3 or worse, so the score is provisional. Declared energy (488.74 kcal) does match what these ingredients give. The pack shows both a 25 g and a 30 g serve; the per 100 g values are the same.
Ingredients to watch
- Fibre figureConcern
20.31 g per 100 g is about three times what the ingredients supply, so it is not credited.
- Sugar figureConcern
Total sugar is printed as 0 g although 30% of the mix is raisins; the risk grade is held at 3 until the maker confirms.
- CaloriesWorth watching
488.74 kcal per 100 g, about 146 kcal in the 30 g pack.
- IngredientsFine
Four whole foods and nothing else, with no sugar or additive added.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Trail mix is a no-sugar snack"
The raisins (30%) carry their own sugar even with none added; the panel's 0 g of total sugar does not fit that.
Myth: "Raisins count as added sugar"
Raisins are whole dried fruit, so their sugar is not counted as free sugar; the doubt is the printed 0 g, not the raisins.
