Crownfield Low Sugar Granola Original — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Crownfield Low Sugar Granola Original by Crownfield OKAY — score 60/90.
A mostly clean granola built on wholegrain oats, nuts and seeds, but rapeseed oil plus two added sugars (black treacle and sugar) keep it out of MUNCH territory.
Why this verdict
- Wholegrain oats are the #1 ingredient at 70% — real fiber and slow carbs
- 9% nuts plus pumpkin and sunflower seeds add protein and healthy fats
- No artificial colors, flavors, emulsifiers or modified starches
