What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the snack or cereal-bar aisle — a grab-and-go organic blueberry bar often tossed into lunchboxes or taken on commutes and road trips. It presents a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe (think childhood fruit bars) but the chewy, uniform texture and long shelf-stable filling reflect industrial processing rather than a homemade baked good.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The ingredient list contains industrially produced components (organic glucose syrup, isomalto-oligosaccharides, glycerin), emulsifiers, gums, refined oils, reconstituted fruit filling and added vitamins/minerals — hallmarks of ultra-processed foods. These additives and fractionated ingredients create a uniform, shelf-stable chewy texture and indicate NOVA group 4.

Common Questions about Organic Blueberry Cereal Bar 6 Count, 7.8 OZ

The Organic Blueberry Cereal Bar can be considered a healthier snack option compared to many traditional candy bars or sugary snacks, thanks to its organic ingredients and absence of artificial sweeteners. However, it does contain added sugars (12 grams per bar), so if you're watching your sugar intake, it's worth keeping that in mind. It's a good pick for a quick energy boost but not necessarily a health food.
