**Study Finds Some No Added Sugar Cereals Contain High Sugar Levels Similar to Chocolate Cereals**

**Popular Breakfast Food 'Just as Unhealthy as Chocolate Cereal'**

Many people think that breakfast cereals labelled 'no added sugar' are healthy. However, consumer group Which? has raised concerns about these claims. They warn that these products can be misleading.

Which? compared various cereals and found that some marketed as healthy are actually high in sugar. These cereals can contain sugar levels similar to sugary varieties, such as those that include chocolate.

A survey by Which? discovered that certain brands of muesli can have high sugar content. This means that people eating them might not realise they are consuming as much sugar as they would from traditional chocolate cereals.

The advice from Which? is to check nutrition labels carefully. They suggest looking beyond marketing claims to understand what is really in the product.

"This is a real eye-opener for many consumers," said a spokesperson from Which?. "It’s important to be aware of hidden sugars."
