Why is LOW SUGAR Granola ORIGINAL classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is assigned to NOVA 3 because the ingredients, flaked oat grains, roasted nuts, rapeseed oil and seeds, undergo processing steps such as heating, cutting and mixing, but the product lists zero additives, so no extra preservatives, flavors or colorants are present.

Is the presence of nuts in this granola a concern for people with nut allergies, and how are they indicated?

Yes, the granola contains hazelnuts, almonds, cashews and walnuts, and the allergen information clearly flags nuts, meaning anyone with a nut allergy should avoid this product.

Can this granola be considered suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

The formulation uses only plant‑derived ingredients, making it vegan, but because it is based on oat flakes, which can be cross‑contaminated with wheat, it is not guaranteed gluten‑free unless the packaging carries a specific gluten‑free claim.

Product Insights

LOW SUGAR Granola ORIGINAL is a plant‑based breakfast cereal produced by Crownfield and sold at Lidl. It belongs to the Breakfast cereals family within the Cereals and potatoes group, carries a Nutri‑Score of A and is classified as NOVA 3, reflecting its low sugar (3.1 g/100 g) and salt (0.02 g/100 g) content but relatively high saturated fat (3.3 g/100 g) and total fat alongside a high protein level (13.8 g/100 g). The granola provides whole‑grain oat flakes, mixed nuts and seeds for fiber and protein, yet the elevated fat levels and lack of added vitamins suggest it should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
