Our take

CleanPlate review

A real fruit-and-nut muesli with an iron figure that doesn't add up

Kwality Crunchy Muesli is a 70% mix of wheat flakes, oats, cornflakes, brown rice flakes, rolled wheat and ragi, with sugar, raisins (9%), candied papaya, cranberries, almonds (2.2%), pumpkin seeds, honey, BHA and artificial coconut flavour.

CleanPlate scores it [L]CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 6.1 g fibre per 100 g; its 7.6 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The declared iron figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by wheat flakes, rolled oats and cornflakes), with additives that cost points: BHA and flavouring. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (16.6 g per 100 g) and sodium (154 mg per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

Raisins 9%, cranberries and papaya 5.4%, almonds 2.2%, pumpkin seeds 1%.
Retail listing
“No added colour and preservatives”

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Muesli is always a low-sugar breakfast"

It depends on the pack: syrups, candied fruit and chocolate can add as much sugar as a coated cereal.

Myth: "The milk makes it balanced"

Milk adds protein and calcium, but it does not change the sugar already in the cereal.

Smarter ways to eat it

Add real protein

Stir in curd, a handful of nuts or seeds, or have an egg alongside; cereal and milk alone is a light breakfast.

Pour less, add fruit

A 30 g bowl is smaller than most people pour. Measure once, then add banana, berries or chopped apple for sweetness and fibre.
