Why does Fruit Muesli receive a Nutri‑Score of B despite its high sugar content?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm balances negative points for sugar, energy and saturated fat against positive points for protein, fiber and fruit/vegetable content; the high fiber (9.4 g) and low salt and saturated fat offset the sugar load enough to keep the overall grade at B.

How might the sugar level in Fruit Muesli affect someone managing diabetes?

At 18.4 g of total sugars per 100 g, the muesli can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit portion size or choose a lower‑sugar alternative and monitor their blood sugar after consumption.

Is Fruit Muesli suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

The product contains wheat and oat flakes, so it is not gluten‑free, but it does not contain any animal‑derived ingredients and is therefore suitable for vegans, although it does list possible traces of milk, soy and peanuts.
