Common misconception
The flapjack recipe contains apple and sultanas, so must be part of our 5 A DAY.
No, the flapjack does not count towards our 5 A DAY. There is not enough fruit, and they are high in sugars and fat (from butter). If we eat these types of foods, we should have them occasionally and in small amounts.
