Our take

CleanPlate review

Oats and raisins, but also palm oil and sugar

Sunfeast Farmlite Oats with Raisins is a cookie built on atta (34.5%) with refined palm oil, oat flakes (15.7%), sugar and raisins (8.7%). Glucose syrup, invert syrup and maltodextrin add more sweetness, and two caramel colours darken it.

CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition is middling: 6.9 g fibre per 100 g; its 7.5 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by wheat flour, refined palm oil and oat flakes), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, diphosphates and flavouring. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (9.8 g per 100 g) and free sugar (17.4 g per 100 g).

Ingredients to watch

    17.4 g per 100 g, plus glucose syrup, invert syrup and maltodextrin on the list.

  • Two caramel coloursWorth watching

    Caramel INS 150c and 150d are made with ammonia; the 4-methylimidazole they can contain is classed as possibly carcinogenic (IARC 2B).

  • Palm oil and saturated fatWorth watching

    Refined palm oil is the second ingredient; saturated fat is 9.8 g per 100 g.

  • Atta, oats and fibreFine

    Atta and oat flakes lead the flours and fibre reaches 6.9 g per 100 g.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Oat cookies are a health food"

Oats are 15.7% of this cookie. The rest is atta, palm oil and about 17 g of added sugar per 100 g.

Myth: "No maida means low sugar"

No maida only describes the flour. Sugar, glucose syrup, invert syrup and maltodextrin still add up to 17.4 g of added sugar per 100 g.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA few times a week
  • ChildrenOccasionally
  • Diabetes or prediabetesOccasionally, watch the sugar

Smarter ways to eat it

One with chai

Keep to one or two cookies with tea or milk rather than eating from the pack.

Make fruit the sweet

A banana or a handful of dates with nuts gives fibre and sweetness without the added sugar.
