What You Should Know

You’d spot this pack of organic mixed berry cereal bars in the snack aisle, a lunchbox, or on a grocery run when you want a grab-and-go sweet treat. It reads ‘organic’ and gives a wholesome, nostalgic snack-bar vibe, but the chewy, uniform texture and long shelf life reflect industrial formulation. The ingredient list shows multiple refined syrups, emulsifiers, gums, isolated fibers and flavors — hallmarks of ultraprocessed products (NOVA hints).
