Our take
CleanPlate reviewA fibre-rich biscuit that still starts with refined flour
Britannia NutriChoice Oats Orange & Almond Biscuit is refined wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, rolled oats, almond, raisins, wheat bran, liquid glucose, maltodextrin, oat fibre, milk solids, invert syrup, orange peel, emulsifiers, salt and orange powder.
CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition is middling: 8 g fibre per 100 g; its 7.8 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, sugar and edible vegetable oil), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.5 g per 100 g) and free sugar (15.4 g per 100 g).
Claims vs reality

The list opens with refined wheat flour, which is maida, so the retailer's claim does not match the list; the pack was not read.
- Retail listingPartly true

Rolled oats are on the list with no percentage.

“High Fibre”
8 g per 100 g is above the 6 g line.
