About Honey Nut Cheerios

Oats and honey on the front of the box, sugar as the second ingredient on the back, and brown sugar syrup a little further down. At 32.4 g per 100 g this is the sweetest cereal in the directory — but the declared serving of one cup, 37 g, keeps the total at 12 g, about three cubes. Whatever goes on top is not counted here.

Is that a lot of sugar?

Overall composition

Nutri-Score D

Computed by Open Food Facts using the published Nutri-Score algorithm. Not assigned or endorsed by the manufacturer.

Nutri-Score grades the whole nutritional composition per 100 — energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt against fibre, protein and fruit or vegetable content — on a scale from A to E. It is a European front-of-pack scheme. It rates a product, not a diet, and says nothing about how much of it you drink.

Concentration follows the UK Department of Health front-of-pack thresholds for total sugars. The serving reading follows the WHO orientation value for free sugars. Nutri-Score is reproduced from the source named above. All three are applied mechanically to the declared figures for the market shown. None of them is a judgement about the product, and none is medical or dietary advice — what a given amount of sugar means for you depends on your whole diet and circumstances.
