Muesli, Swiss style, unfortified

Swiss-style muesli is a breakfast cereal mixture, usually made from cereal flakes with dried fruit and nuts. The form described here is unfortified, meaning it has not had vitamins or minerals added, and the figures are for the cereal without added milk or yoghurt. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 73g per 100g, including 21g of sugars. It also contains 8.8g of fibre and 9.2g of protein per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugar figure includes both naturally occurring and any added sugars; it does not show these separately. Ingredients vary between products, so labels can help when comparing sugar content.
