Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients contribute to this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D results from the combination of high sugar (21.9 g per 100 g), high saturated fat (5.9 g), and high energy (454 kcal) together with relatively low positive points from fiber (4.8 g) and a low fruit‑vegetable‑legume percentage (1.1 %). The negative nutrients outweigh the positives, leading to a D grade.

How does the high sugar content in this muesli affect people with diabetes or those trying to limit sugar intake?

At 21.9 g of sugar per 100 g, a typical 30 g serving provides about 6.6 g of sugar, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control and for low‑sugar or calorie‑restricted diets.

Is this chocolate quinoa muesli suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

The product is vegan, containing only plant‑based, organic ingredients and no animal derivatives. However, it includes wheat flour and oats, so it is not gluten‑free and should be avoided by anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
