Hello lybrate-user. Look for total carbohydrates and sugar content both are important But usually glycaemic index is not written on labels glycaemic index is ability of any food to increase blood sugar immediately after eating that food so a food is bad even if carbohydrate content is low but glycaemic index is high You have to Google glycaemic index Inshort All processed grains have high glycaemic index so they are bad Whole grains oats have low glycaemic index so they are good.
