This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load
Think twice trigger

Product contains whole grains and dried fruits, both natural sources of sugars. Dried fruits in muesli formulations typically contribute 20-35g of sugars per 100g.

Exact sugar content per serving not disclosed on readily accessible sources, though brand claims no added sugars. The chocolate coating adds cocoa solids which contain natural sugars.

Without verified nutritional panel disclosure, sugar content assessment remains inconclusive.

Processing tier
Think twice trigger

Classified as NOVA tier 3-4 due to chocolate coating process and mixing of multiple refined ingredients (cocoa, dried fruits, seeds). While the brand emphasizes absence of artificial ingredients, the bean-to-bar chocolate-dipping and formulation process involves industrial processing.

Not a minimally processed food, but positioned as having cleaner processing methodology than conventional mueslis.

Fat / oil type
Think twice trigger

Product contains cocoa/dark chocolate and almonds, which contribute polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. No palm oil, hydrogenated oils, or trans fats disclosed in ingredient list.

However, cocoa butter in dark chocolate contains saturated fat (~25-35% of chocolate weight). Brand manufactures chocolate in-house, suggesting control over fat sourcing, but complete fat composition (saturated vs unsaturated) not publicly detailed.

Sodium
Think twice trigger

Specific sodium content per serving not provided in accessible nutritional information. Mueslis with whole milk powder and nuts typically contain 200-400mg sodium per 100g.

Whole milk powder is primary sodium source. Without verified sodium data per serving, assessment remains uncertain.

Brand does not claim low-sodium positioning.

Marketing deception

Brand claims '100% clean food,' 'REAL chocolate,' 'no artificial flavor,' 'no artificial color,' 'no preservatives'. Ingredients listed (whole grains, dried fruits, cocoa, seeds, whole milk powder, almonds) align with front-of-pack claims.

No ASCI warnings or FSSAI notices found regarding deceptive labeling for this product. Transparency philosophy appears consistent with ingredient disclosure.

Regulatory history

The Whole Truth Foods is FSSAI-licensed (License Number: 10018064001572, modified May 2023) and GST-registered (GSTIN: 29AADCF7463N1ZY, registered 10/07/2021). Manufacturing premises registered in Haryana.

No public recalls, adulteration notices, or regulatory action found regarding this muesli product as of April 2026. Heavy metal testing conducted on cocoa/coffee ingredients per internal company documentation.

§ B · Nutrition

Per 100 g

Energy
~430-450 kcal (estimated)
Dried fruits, nuts, and chocolate coating contribute high caloric density. Exact value not disclosed on accessible retail pages. Comparable mueslis with dried fruit and chocolate range 420-480 kcal/100g.
Total Fat
~20-25g
Primarily from almonds, cocoa solids, and whole milk powder. Dark chocolate and almonds are primary fat sources (cocoa butter, almond lipids). Mostly unsaturated with ~6-8g saturated from milk powder and cocoa.
Carbohydrates
~55-62g
From whole grains (oats), dried fruits, and cocoa. Dried fruits contribute concentrated sugars (~3-4g per dried fruit piece). Total carbs predominantly from grain and fruit components.
Protein
~8-10g
Derived from whole grains, whole milk powder (~1.5-2g per 10g milk powder), almonds (~2g per 10g almonds), and oats (~3g per 30g oats). Milk powder is primary protein contributor.
Dietary Fiber
~5-7g
From whole grains and dried fruits. Oats contain ~7-8% fiber; dried fruits contribute additional fiber. Higher than refined cereals but lower than pure oat bran products.
Sodium
~180-250mg
