Figures from the nutrition panel on Sainsbury’s’s product page, collected by Boone. Free sugar calculated by Boone. Last checked 17 October 2026. Data checks are led by Murray Dare.

Fuel10K’s own website has no nutrition labels, so the figures are from Sainsbury’s. The label gives figures for the made-up pot only, so Boone converts them to per 100g of the dry pot as sold. Figures are for the dry oats as sold, before milk or water.
