Bar, muesli, plain or with dried fruit, added B vitamins

Snack style product whose major ingredients include rolled oats, sugars and vegetable oils, and generally have added dried fruits (typically apricot, sultana and apple). Contains added vitamins B2, B3 and folate.

The majority of nutrients were averaged from two analyses. The first program analysed a composite of 6 samples (Uncles Tobys Tropical, Three Fruits and Apricot & Coconut) purchased in Adelaide in 1990. The second program analysed a composite of 5 samples (3x Uncle Tobys Apricot, 1x Uncle Tobys Original, 1x Farmland 3 fruits) purchased in Sydney in 2005. Folates, B2, iodine & tocopherols were derived from a composite of 8 samples (4x Uncle Tobys - Original, Apricot and Forest Fruits varieties, 2x Coles Farmland 3 Fruits, 2x Norganic - Apple Blueberry Crunchola) purchased in Melbourne in 2005. Fat also determined in one sample purchased in Sydney in 2005 (Uncle Tobys Original). Folic acid was estimated from comparison of analysis of fortified and unfortified products. B3 was estimated assuming the product contains 70% of niacin-fortified muesli. Note low sum of proximates.
