Why does Beeren Müsli receive a Nutri‑Score of B even though the label says ‘no added sugar’?

The ‘no added sugar’ claim means no refined sugar was added during production, but the natural sugars coming from the dried berries, apple pieces and the inherent carbohydrate content of the grains still raise the total sugar level to 18 g per 100 g, which lowers the Nutri‑Score to B.

How does the sugar content in this muesli impact individuals with diabetes or those watching their weight?

At 18 g of sugar per 100 g, the product delivers a relatively high glycaemic load; people managing diabetes should count this amount toward their daily carbohydrate target, and those aiming for weight control may need to limit portion size to avoid excess calorie intake from sugars.

Is Beeren Müsli suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the muesli is fully vegan, but it contains oat and barley flakes that provide gluten, making it unsuitable for a gluten‑free diet.
