What You Should Know

You might spot this pouch in the health-snack aisle, near other energy bites or at the front-of-store grab-and-go shelf — the sort of thing you toss in a gym bag or lunchbox. It gives a hybrid vibe: marketed as wholesome and protein-forward but still indulgently chewy and sweet. The ingredient list (protein isolates, starches, juice concentrate, and 'natural flavor') and the uniform chewy texture point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed snacks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains industrial ingredients like pea and brown rice protein isolates, rice starch, juice concentrate and natural flavor, which are characteristic of ultra-processed foods despite some whole-food components (dates, nuts, coconut). The formulation and likely factory-produced chewy texture align with NOVA group 4.
