Flapjacks, retail

Retail flapjacks are ready-made baked oat bars, usually made with added fat and sugar. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat, with smaller amounts of fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 56g of carbohydrate, including 29g of sugars, and 23g of fat, including 10g of saturated fat.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. The sugar and saturated fat content are points to note for people monitoring their intake. Nutrient amounts can vary between products because recipes differ, so packaging gives information specific to an individual product. Full nutrient figures for the sampled retail flapjacks are in the tables below.
