What You Should Know

You’d spot this 365 by Whole Foods mixed berry fruit-and-grain bar in the organic snacks aisle or the grab-and-go shelf—a lunchbox or desk drawer staple for busy days. It reads wholesome and slightly nostalgic (chewy fruit-bar comfort), but its glossy, uniform texture and long shelf stability come from industrial syrups, gums and emulsifiers rather than just whole fruit and grains. Those ingredient clues point toward a formulated, highly processed product designed for convenience and consistent mouthfeel.
