I suppose if they include Quaker oats in "oatmeal", then they might count as "good for you" -- but the pre-packaged instant oatmeal is sugar filled and probably shouldn't be included. Too many variations under one brand.

I've seen jars of honey-and-mustard and chocolate-chip hummus in the grocery store in the US. Needless to say, this is not how people eat hummus anywhere else in the world.

instead they just leave out the chickpeas and call it halva...

Sabra's nutrition label seems to indicate no added sugar: http://i.imgur.com/1BstN2i.png

Good point. After seeing the picture, I think I have had this. It's pretty good.

Quaker oatmeal is sugary? I thought it was simply "oats". I've never noticed any sugar that I haven't added myself.

They do sell just plain oats with no other ingredients, but the instant oatmeal has a whole bunch of added sugar and the marketing deliberately conflates the two.
