Bar, muesli, plain or with dried fruit, added B vitamins, chocolate-coated

Snack style bar whose major ingredients include rolled oats, sugars, vegetable oil, puffed rice, dried fruit or fruit juice, nuts and seeds. The bar is covered or topped with chocolate. Contains added vitamins B2, B3 and folate.

The majority of nutrients were averaged across two sets of analyses. The first analysis was of a composite sample (4x Uncle Tobys Wrapps - Tangy Orange, Cherry & Coconut, Apricot & Coconut, Peppermint, 2x Gold Crest - Peanut, Cherry & Coconut) purchased in Adelaide in 1990 . The second analysis was of a composite of 5 samples (3x Uncle Tobys Hi Topps Original, 1x Mother Earth Berry Choc, 1x Kelloggs Choc Vanilla Malt) purchased in Sydney in 2005. Total analysed nitrogen reduced by 1% to account for purine nitrogen. Folate is imputed from fruit/plain muesli bar. Folic acid was estimated from comparison of analysis of fortified and unfortified products. B2 was derived from the 2005 sample only. B3 was estimated assuming the product contains 70% of niacin-fortified muesli. Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
