What You Should Know

You'd find this 16-count organic mixed berry fruit and grain bar in the snack aisle or stacked near lunchbox items — a grab-and-go option for busy mornings, school lunches, or pantry-ready road trips. It reads as wholesome and nostalgia-tinged (fruit bars from childhood) but is engineered for consistent texture and shelf stability. The long ingredient list — glucose syrup, glycerin, isomalto-oligosaccharides, emulsifiers, gums, and a reconstituted fruit filling — signals industrial processing typical of ultra-processed bars rather than a simply baked whole-food snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives (glucose syrup, glycerin, isomalto-oligosaccharides, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, natural flavors) plus reconstituted fruit filling and fortification, which are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods. These formulations and additives are used to create a consistent soft texture, long shelf life, and stable flavor profile rather than preserving minimally processed whole ingredients.

The Mixed Berry Fruit and Grain Bar can be a part of a balanced diet, especially as a snack option. It’s organic and free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, which is a plus!
