Brand: Crownfield

Munch or Dump rates Crownfield No Added Sugar Granola Coconut, Cashew & Almond by Crownfield ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Sold as "no added sugar," but 15% date syrup is the second ingredient and refined oils and flours round out an engineered sweet cereal.

Why this verdict

Wholegrain Oat Flakes (33%) (safe) — Real whole grain, good fiber and slow-release carbs.
Wholegrain Barley Flakes (18%) (safe) — Whole grain with beta-glucan fiber that helps cholesterol.
Whole Rye Flakes (7%) (safe) — Whole grain, high fiber, keeps you full.
Date Syrup (15%) (concerning) — Concentrated sugar (~65-70%) dressed up as 'no added sugar'; spikes blood sugar like table sugar.
rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch binder.
Wheat Flour (enriched) (moderate) — Refined flour with added iron and B vitamins; still a refined carb.
Malted Barley Flour (safe) — Traditional flavour/enzyme source, contains gluten.
rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
banana puree (safe) — Real fruit, contributes natural sweetness.
Flaked and Chopped Almonds (3%) (safe) — Real nuts, healthy fats and protein, but only a small amount.
Cashew pieces (2%) (safe) — Real nuts, minerals and healthy fats; small quantity.
Desiccated Coconut (2%) (safe) — Dried coconut; minor saturated fat but a whole-food ingredient.
flavouring (moderate) — Undisclosed flavouring — no reason a genuine sourdough rye should need added flavour.
Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for mouthfeel; contributes omega-6 and calories.
