What to know about Farmley 8-In-1 Berries Mix
Eight dried fruits, with added sugar and sulphites
Farmley 8-In-1 Berries Mix is a 200 g pack of dried fruit: cranberry, blackcurrants, black raisins, mango, strawberries, peach, papaya and blueberries, with sugar, sunflower oil and the preservatives INS 220 and INS 223 added. It is bought as a topping for oats and cereal or as a handful straight from the pack. No percentages are declared.
Per 100 g you get 327 kcal, 80.1 g carbohydrate, 5.7 g fibre and just 0.9 g protein. Sugar is 51.9 g, of which 21.3 g is added. The pack suggests a 20 g serve, which is about 65 kcal, 10.4 g total sugar, 4.3 g added sugar and 1.1 g fibre. Fat and sodium are low, at 0.4 g and 62 mg per 100 g.
The pack leans on words like All Natural and Antioxidant-rich, and the list does show real fruit first. But the sugar, the sunflower oil where the front says olive oil, and two sulphite preservatives sit behind the front. CleanPlate scores it DB3.
Why Farmley 8-In-1 Berries Mix scores DB3
Nutrition is a D because the mix is nearly all sugar and carbohydrate, with 0.9 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, with fruit first but two sulphites. Risk is a 3 on 21.3 g added sugar.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.9 g
- Fibre
- 5.7 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 327 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 0.9 g per 100 g and fibre is 5.7 g. Carbohydrate is 80.1 g, and 51.9 g of it is sugar, so the energy comes almost entirely from sugar.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Fibre helps a little, but it cannot offset the near-absence of protein.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Eight dried fruits come first, which is a simple, recognisable base. Sugar, sunflower oil and preservatives follow, and no percentages are declared for any of them.
The preservatives sulphur dioxide (INS 220) and sodium metabisulphite (INS 223) each cost ingredient points. No hydrogenated fat is listed and no artificial colour or flavour appears, so the grade stays high.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 21.3 g
- Sodium
- 62.2 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Added sugar is the driver: 21.3 g per 100 g, which carries most of the risk number. A 20 g serve has 4.3 g.
Energy adds a little at 327 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat (0.2 g), sodium (62 mg) and trans fat (0 g) hardly count.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Farmley 8-In-1 Berries Mix live up to its claims?
The no artificial colours or flavours claim holds. All Natural, 8 Dried Berries and Roasted in olive oil are true only in part, and the preservatives are on the pack.
- On the packBe careful
“8 Dried Berries”
The list has eight dried fruits, but not all are berries: mango, peach, papaya and raisins are other fruits. Cranberry, blackcurrant, strawberry and blueberry are the berries.
- On the packBe careful
“All Natural”
The fruit is real, but the list also has added sugar (21.3 g per 100 g) and the preservatives INS 220 and INS 223.
- On the packHolds
“No artificial colours or flavours”
No colour or flavour is listed. The only additives are the two sulphite preservatives.
- On the packBe careful
“Roasted in olive oil”
The ingredient list names sunflower oil and no olive oil.
- Retail listingBe careful

What's in Farmley 8-In-1 Berries Mix?
Eight dried fruits lead the list, followed by sugar, sunflower oil and two sulphite preservatives. The added sugar and the preservatives are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Dried cranberry leads, followed by blackcurrants, black raisins, mango, strawberries, peach, papaya and blueberries. Sugar, which likely sweetens the tart berries, comes next, then sunflower oil and the two preservatives INS 220 and INS 223. The share of each fruit is not declared.
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
21.3 g per 100 g on top of the fruit's own sugar, which brings the total to 51.9 g. A 20 g serve has 4.3 g added.
- Sulphite preservatives (INS 220, 223)Worth watching
Sulphur dioxide and sodium metabisulphite each cost ingredient points. The pack does carry them, whatever the front suggests.
- Almost no proteinWorth watching
0.9 g per 100 g, so it adds sweetness and fibre but will not fill you up.
- Fat and sodiumFine
0.4 g fat, 0.2 g saturated fat and 62 mg sodium per 100 g, with no trans fat.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
