Our take

CleanPlate review

Oat cookies with 25.3 g of added sugar

Sunfeast Farmlite Oats with Chocolate Cookies are wheat flour (31.3%), oat flakes (20.3%), sugar, vegetable oil, plain chocolate chips (6.2%), liquid glucose, invert syrup, cocoa solids (1.4%), almond bits (1.4%), raising agents and salt.

CleanPlate scores it [L]DC4. The D for nutrition is low: only 4.6 g fibre per 100 g and little else credited; its 11 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by wheat flour, oat flakes and sugar), with additives that cost points: flavouring and PGPR. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: chocolate is named on the pack, but a chocolate flavouring is listed and the real chocolate is not among the first three ingredients. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (10.1 g per 100 g) and free sugar (25.3 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • Product name

    “Oats with Chocolate Cookies”

    Misleading

    Chocolate chips are 6.2% and cocoa solids 1.4%, but the chips list artificial chocolate and vanilla flavour, and chocolate is not among the first three ingredients.

  • Retail listing

    “Made from Aashirvaad Atta”

    Partly true

    The list says "wheat flour" (31.3%) and does not say atta.

  • Retail listing

    “Source of Fibre”

    Holds

    4.6 g fibre per 100 g is above the 3 g line for a source.

  • Retail listing

    “No Maida”

    Partly true

    The list does not say the wheat flour is whole wheat, so maida is not ruled out.

Sugar and fat set the load: 25.3 g added sugar and 21.6 g fat per 100 g.

Myth: "Fibre from oats offsets the sugar"

4.6 g of fibre does not offset 25.3 g of added sugar in the same 100 g.

One cookie with tea is enough.
