What You Should Know

You'd spot this box on the snack or granola-bar shelf at Whole Foods and grab it for lunchboxes, road trips, or a quick pantry snack. It reads wholesome and nostalgic because of organic oats and chocolate chips, but the multiple syrups, refined oils, emulsifier (soy lecithin) and "natural flavor" signal a chewy, shelf-stable ultra-processed formulation consistent with NOVA 4.
