What we say

Muesli bars have a healthy image, but most are more than 20% sugar and can contain a fair bit of saturated fat. MOTHER EARTH Fruit Crumble Muesli Bars are no exception. Sugar (and fat) is what tends to hold the bars together, however, so it's not unexpected.

But don't get too excited about the 'made from 40% fruit' claim on the front of pack. It doesn't mean that 40% of the bar is fruit, as you might have thought. What it actually boils down to is that 40% of the apricot topping - which makes up 20% of the bar - is made from fruit. And while the apricot topping may be tasty, it can be bad news as the sugar can stick to your teeth. This activates bacteria that attack your teeth and can cause decay.

MOTHER EARTH Fruit Crumble Muesli Bars do contain wholegrain cereals, and a 30g bar provides around 9% of the daily fibre that's recommended for an eight-year-old. But with nearly 10% fat and 30% sugar, they're suitable as an occasional snack only.
