No idea how to log my granola..

Simple, but quick question. I intend to make my own homemade granola cereal but I'm pinching pennies at the moment so I buy it from WinCo. It has a barcode, but when I scan it there is not information on it. It states it's from the WinCo Bakery, and I've tried looking online but the one's that are listed in MFP...well, I'm not sure if that's the granola I'm eating or not.
My granola has pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, peanut butter, coconut...and I don't know if I'm listing the correct one or not. I would usually just go with it - but some that fit the description of my granola vary from 109 calories to 490 in calories! With the amount of nuts and seeds, it's probably the higher calorie, but still not sure what to do in this situation.

Anyone know what to do in situation's like this? I've tried googling to get a better idea, but no luck.

Call the customer service number for the company and ask for the nutritional information. Then create your own entry.

Unfortunately not, it's not from the bulk bins. It's just in a plastic container by the bakery.

When a store packages up items like granola, etc. it is the same stuff as in the bulk bins. They do that at Sprouts all the time to push certain products because it's easier for many people to grab a pre-packaged container than to scoop it out, bag it, and mark the code. If the product name matches one of the bulk items, it would be safe to assume it's the same food.
