Jordans Crunchy Oat Granola Raisin & Almond — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Jordans Crunchy Oat Granola Raisin & Almond by Jordans TREAT — score 45/90.
A solid wholegrain-oat base, but sugar is the second ingredient and there's added honey and refined oil on top. Recognizable ingredients, just sweetened and indulgent — breakfast that behaves like dessert.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of the raisins, almonds and honey
- Two added sweeteners (sugar plus honey) stacked on the natural sugars from raisins and sultanas
- Refined sunflower oil adds fat and calories to what looks like a plain cereal
- Genuinely strong side: 68% wholegrain oats and no artificial additives
Ingredients (9)
- Wholegrain Oat Flakes (68%) (safe) — Whole grain, high in fibre and slow-release carbs — the best thing in the bag and the dominant ingredient.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- Raisins (7%) (safe) — Dried fruit — real food with fibre, but very sugar-dense, so it adds to the overall sweetness load.
- Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for mouthfeel; contributes omega-6 and calories.
- Sultanas (moderate) — Dried fruit; whole-food but concentrated natural sugar, so it drives up the sugar count despite 'no added sugar'.
- Whole & sliced almonds (3.5%) (safe) — Whole nut adding protein, healthy fats and fibre. A genuine positive.
- Honey (1%) (moderate) — Another sugar source, but only 1% despite fronting the product name. More marketing than substance.
- sunflower seeds (safe) — Whole seed; vitamin E and healthy fats.
- natural flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour compound; 'natural' but unspecified, a minor processing marker.
