|---|---|---|

The product name doesn’t tell you enough about the ingredients. For example, Zonnatura lists wheat and gluten in its Granola Amandel Cashew.
If you have coeliac disease, check the gluten-free label on the specific product, then read the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging.
Gluten-free granolas can contain different amounts of sugars and fibre. According to Jumbo’s product information, Holie's Buckwheat & Nuts contains 1.9 g of sugars and 14 g of fibre per 100 g; Free Of Gluten nut and honey lists 21 g of sugars and 3.3 g of fibre.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g if sugars and fibre are important to your choice.

Check with the shop for the product you want, and read the packaging again if you choose an alternative.
