Full of anticipation, I wanted to put the Farmer Müesli "without added sugar" in my shopping basket. But the list of ingredients shows that oligofructose has been added. Even if this is legally permissible, it is still a scam on the customer. Oligofructose is a polysaccharide. Digestive enzymes cannot break it down - an oversupply leads to digestive problems. In sensitive people, even less than 10 grams a day can trigger flatulence or diarrhea. What a shame... :-( How about stevia?

Hello sunnestern87, thank you for your feedback on Farmer Müesli. From a food law perspective, the statement "no added sugar" is permitted for this product. Oligofructose is a dietary fiber and not a type of sugar. Oligofructose can have a laxative effect in higher quantities, but this varies from person to person. However, we are happy to take your input on board and will look into it. Best regards, Richi
