Start with the nutrition panel: in the UK, a product using a “high fibre” claim must provide at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g or 3 g per 100 kcal. For a shared brunch, compare fibre and sugars per 100 g, choose a protein option only when that matters to guests, and check the current pack for nuts, gluten-containing cereals, milk and soya before serving.
For hosts serving granola with yoghurt, fruit and milk alternatives who want to avoid preventable ingredient surprises. Jordans and Eat Natural product information shows that several options contain nuts and gluten-containing cereals, while some may also contain milk or soya.
For anyone seeking a granola that meets the UK high-fibre condition while comparing sugars on the same per-100-g basis. Jordans Low Sugar Granola Almond and Hazelnut and Eat Natural Low Sugar Granola provide product-specific figures for both.
For brunch groups where protein is a specific preference rather than something assumed from a high-fibre label. Eat Natural Protein Granola and Lizi's High Protein Granola offer protein-and-fibre routes with different ingredient and sugar considerations.
Compare the nutrition declaration on a per-100-g basis first, then check ingredients and dietary suitability for the people sharing the table.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| High-fibre qualification | Check fibre per 100 g on the nutrition panel. For a UK “high fibre” claim, legislation.gov.uk sets a threshold of at least 6 g per 100 g or 3 g per 100 kcal. | I want a granola that genuinely meets the high-fibre brief, rather than relying on oats, seeds or wholegrain wording alone. |
| Fibre and sugars together | Compare both values per 100 g. Jordans Low Sugar Granola Almond and Hazelnut lists 7.9 g fibre and 2.9 g sugars per 100 g; Eat Natural Low Sugar Granola lists 9.4 g fibre and 3.2 g sugars per 100 g. | I want the granola to fit alongside fruit, yoghurt and other brunch dishes without making the bowl comparatively sweet. |
| Protein preference | Use protein as an additional criterion. Eat Natural Protein Granola lists 19.0 g protein and 9.5 g fibre per 100 g; Lizi's states 13.5 g protein and 3.4 g fibre per 50 g serving. | Some guests may value a protein contribution, but that does not replace checking fibre, sugars and ingredients. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current allergen declaration for nuts, gluten-containing cereals, milk and soya. Check “may contain” statements as well as listed ingredients. | I need a granola that suits the guests actually attending, with packaging available for everyone to check. |
A high-fibre claim has a defined threshold, and fibre levels can vary between products in the same range.
Confirm at least 6 g fibre per 100 g or 3 g per 100 kcal before classing a granola as high fibre.
Granola is often served with fruit, yoghurt and other sweet brunch foods. The researched products differ substantially in listed sugars, from 2.9 g per 100 g for Jordans Low Sugar Granola to 11.8 g per 100 g for Eat Natural Protein Granola.
Compare fibre and sugars side by side per 100 g, then decide whether a lower-sugar or protein-focused route better suits the menu.
Several products contain nuts, oats, wheat, rye, barley or soya, and some carry cross-contact warnings. A vegan claim does not establish nut, gluten or soya suitability.
Check the current pack immediately before serving, keep it available for guests to read, and offer a separately verified alternative where needed.
Nutrition panels may show both per-100-g and per-portion figures, while a self-serve brunch bowl can be larger or smaller than the stated portion.
Compare products per 100 g first, then use serving guidance to plan buffet quantities and explain the likely contribution of a bowl.

A vegan brunch option where peanut, wheat and oat suitability has been confirmed for the group.
Declared fibre: 6.1 g per 100 g. Listed sugars: 14.9 g per 100 g.
Contains oats, wheat and peanuts; may contain milk, nuts, sesame and soya. Check the current pack before choosing it for protein, as the supplied protein figures conflict.

A fruit-and-nut granola for a flavour-led brunch where ingredient requirements have been checked in advance.
Declared fibre: 6.1 g per 100 g. Listed sugars: 24 g per 100 g.
Contains oats and almonds and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and cereals containing gluten. Take care when serving, as the pack warns that occasional nut-shell or fruit-stone pieces may occur.
For a “high fibre” nutrition claim, the product must contain at least 6 g fibre per 100 g or at least 3 g fibre per 100 kcal, as set out in UK retained nutrition-claim rules. Check the nutrition declaration rather than relying only on ingredients such as oats, seeds or nuts.
Use per-100-g values for a fair comparison because manufacturer portions differ. Then use the stated serving size to plan quantities and understand what a bowl contributes; Jordans lists 3.6 g fibre in a 45 g portion, while Eat Natural Low Sugar Granola lists 4.2 g in a 45 g portion.
Not without checking individual requirements. The researched Jordans, Eat Natural and Rude Health examples contain or may contain nuts and include gluten-containing cereals, while Eat Natural Protein Granola also contains soya. Keep the packaging available and offer a separately verified alternative where needed.
No. Protein and fibre are separate selection criteria: a protein route can suit guests who specifically want more protein, but its fibre, sugars, ingredients and allergens still need comparing with the rest of the brunch spread.
