Sugar, calories and salt by bowl size

The figures below show total sugar, calories and salt for four bowl sizes, each with 125ml of semi-skimmed milk. The full packet figure shows the dry cereal only.

All portion figures include 125ml semi-skimmed milk. Milk sugar (lactose) does not count as free sugar under NHS guidelines and is excluded from the sugar totals. Milk calories and salt are included.

Sugar

Jordan's Country Crisp Raspberry contains 27g of sugar per 100g. A 30g bowl delivers 8.1g of free sugar before milk is added, and a 40g bowl delivers 10.8g. Country Crisp combines clusters and flakes with freeze-dried raspberry pieces, giving it the highest calorie density of any cereal in this guide.

All added sugar in Country Crisp Raspberry counts as free sugar under NHS guidelines. Milk lactose does not count as free sugar and is excluded from these figures.

At 27g per 100g, Country Crisp Raspberry is among the higher-sugar options in this guide. A 30g bowl provides 34% of the daily free sugar limit for a child aged 7 to 10, and a 40g bowl provides 45%.

The table below shows a standard 30g bowl as a percentage of the daily free sugar limit for each age group (cereal sugar only, no milk).

Calories

A 30g bowl of Country Crisp Raspberry with 125ml semi-skimmed milk contains approximately 195 calories. At 60g with milk the bowl contains approximately 331 calories.

For a child aged 4 to 6, a 30g bowl represents around 14% of their estimated daily calorie requirement, a reasonable contribution from breakfast.

Fibre

Country Crisp Raspberry contains 6g of fibre per 100g, which is 1.8g in a 30g bowl. This is a moderate contribution, higher than refined low-fibre cereals but below the highest-fibre options such as bran cereals.

The NHS recommends adults consume around 30g of fibre per day. A 30g bowl of Country Crisp Raspberry provides 1.8g, around 6% of this target, with the remainder needing to come from other meals.

Protein

Country Crisp Raspberry contains 8g of protein per 100g, which is 2.4g in a 30g bowl before milk. With 125ml of semi-skimmed milk, which contributes approximately 4.2g of protein, the total reaches 6.6g.

Most of the protein in a bowl of cereal with milk comes from the milk itself rather than the cereal. This is true across almost all breakfast cereals, including higher-protein options like Country Crisp Raspberry.

For a child aged 7 to 10, a general guide for daily protein intake is around 24g. A 30g bowl of Country Crisp Raspberry with milk provides 6.6g, a useful contribution from breakfast, primarily via the milk.

Fortification, vitamins and minerals

Jordan's Country Crisp Raspberry is not fortified with added vitamins or minerals. The nutrient content comes entirely from the oats and wheat used to make it, without any vitamins or minerals added during manufacturing.

This means Country Crisp Raspberry will not contribute toward reference intakes for vitamin D, B vitamins or iron in the way that fortified cereals do. Wholegrain cereals naturally contain some B vitamins, magnesium and iron from the grain itself, but at lower levels than fortified products typically declare.

If vitamin D or iron intake is a concern, particularly for children during winter months, a fortified cereal on alternate days, or other dietary sources, can help fill this gap.

Whole grain and processing

Country Crisp Raspberry is made from oats and wheat, which is whole grain,, combined with added sugar and flavourings, then shaped and coated during manufacturing.

This combination of ingredients and processing methods places Country Crisp Raspberry in the most processed NOVA category, alongside the majority of packaged breakfast cereals.

Salt

Country Crisp Raspberry contains 0.33g of salt per 100g. A 30g bowl contains 0.1g of salt. With 125ml semi-skimmed milk, the total rises to approximately 0.3g.

For a child aged 4 to 6 with a daily salt limit of 3g, a 30g bowl with milk represents around 10% of their daily allowance from breakfast.
