Scrumshus the Premium Granola — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Scrumshus the Premium Granola by Scrumshus TREAT — score 45/90.

Whole-food granola with no artificial junk, but it's drenched in sugar — honey is 25%, the second ingredient, on top of maple syrup and sweetened cranberries, pushing it past 30g sugar per 100g.

Why this verdict

• Honey is 25% of the product — the #2 ingredient — driving ~31g sugar per 100g
• Maple syrup and sugar-infused cranberries pile on even more sugar
• Sweet enough to spike blood sugar fast, like dessert at breakfast
• Saves itself from a worse verdict by being whole-food, additive-free
