CleanPlate review

Fruit and nut muesli with an implausible protein value

Mevo Muesli with 96% Fruits, Nuts & Seeds is a 400 g jar of muesli made from almonds (15%), black raisins (16%), cranberry (20%), pumpkin seeds (20%), corn flakes, jumbo oats, all bran flakes (25%), honey, cinnamon and cookies (4%). The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it CA4. The C for nutrition is middling: 8.5 g fibre per 100 g. The declared protein figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by almonds, black raisins and cranberry), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (14.4 g per 100 g) and calories (533 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • Product name

    “Honey Roasted Muesli”

    Be careful

    Honey is listed with no percentage.

  • On the pack

    “96% Fruits & Nuts, Seeds, Whole-grains”

    Holds

    Almonds, raisins, cranberry, pumpkin seeds and bran flakes add to 96%.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Protein”

    Be careful

    True on the declared value, but that value is not supported by the ingredients.

How CA4 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Almonds (15%), black raisins (16%), cranberry (20%), pumpkin seeds (20%), corn flakes, jumbo oats, all bran flakes (25%), honey, dal chini and cookies (4%).

Per 100 g: 533 kcal, 41.3 g fat of which 14.4 g saturated, 5.79 g sugar, 8.5 g fibre, 25.6 g protein. The declared protein and fat are well above what the list can supply (about 14 g protein and 20 g fat at most), so the protein is not credited in the nutrition grade, the label takes 2 points and the score is provisional (IMPLAUSIBLE). The panel has no sodium line, so sodium is not credited as a risk. Natural sugar 5.79 g is stored as total sugar and looks low for 36% dried fruit. The nuts-and-seeds saturated fat is taken as printed.

Ingredients to watch

  • Saturated fatConcern

    14.4 g per 100 g as printed, though the list does not seem to support it.

  • CaloriesWorth watching

    533 kcal per 100 g.

  • Panel valuesWorth watching

    Protein 25.6 g, fat 41.3 g and sugar 5.79 g do not fit the ingredients.

  • IngredientsFine

    Whole foods only, with no additive.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "96% fruits and nuts"

Bran flakes make up 25% of that 96%; the fruit, nut and seed share is 71%.

Myth: "Honey roasted"

Honey is listed with no percentage.
