Families comparing fibre content
For households that want to check the amount of fibre per 100 g and take the sugar content per 100 g into account too.
Who is this comparison for?
Larger households stocking up
For families comparing pack sizes and stated serving numbers to make sure they have enough granola for several breakfasts.
Households checking allergens
For families where someone needs to check the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings before buying. The fibre content alone does not tell you whether a product is suitable.
What should you look for when choosing?
First compare the nutritional information on the same basis, then check that the pack size and ingredients suit your household.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre and sugars | Check the fibre and sugar content per 100 g. Make sure any ‘high fibre’ claim meets the requirements of EU Regulation 1924/2006. | If I choose granola specifically for its fibre content, I want to be able to compare it with the sugars on the label. This comparison is the top priority for an estimated 45% of consumers. |
| Pack size | Compare the weight in grams and, if stated, the number of servings. | When planning several family breakfasts, I want to know how long one pack will last. Around 36% of consumers prioritise this practical need to stock up. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack. | If a family member needs to avoid an allergen, the label determines which granola is suitable. This check is the top priority for an estimated 19% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming granola with oats or nuts is automatically high in fibre
The ingredient name does not tell you how much fibre the finished product contains. For a ‘high fibre’ claim, EU Regulation 1924/2006 specifies at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g or 3 g per 100 kcal.
Check the fibre content in the nutritional information before using that claim to choose products.
-
Reading ‘no added sugars’ as ‘sugar-free’
The nutritional information published by Quaker for Cruesli Granola Zero Sugar Added Naturel states that it contains 3.2 g of sugars per 100 g. So the product name alone does not give you the full sugar content.
For the variant you choose, compare the ‘of which sugars’ figure per 100 g on the current packaging.
-
Relying on an allergen list you checked previously
The variants reviewed differ in the allergens they contain and their ‘may contain’ warnings. A different flavour or updated packaging means you need to check again.
Read the current label every time you buy, even if you have bought the same granola before.

Frequently asked questions
When can granola be labelled ‘high fibre’?
For a ‘high fibre’ claim, EU Regulation 1924/2006 requires at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g or 3 g of fibre per 100 kcal. Check the nutritional information for your chosen granola to confirm the amount.
Does one serving of granola provide your daily fibre intake?
You can’t tell from the ‘high fibre’ claim alone. The amount of fibre per serving depends on the serving size, and other foods also contribute fibre throughout the day.
Should I check the allergens on every bag?
Yes. If a family member needs to avoid an allergen, check the current label for the specific variant you’re choosing. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed in the ingredients; also check for any ‘may contain’ warnings.
How should I store an opened large bag of granola?
Seal the packaging tightly after use and follow the product’s storage instructions. Albert Heijn advises sealing the packaging tightly for AH Granola noten.
