What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the grocery snack or cereal aisle, or packed in a kid’s lunchbox — a shelf-stable, single-serve fruit-and-grain bar marketed as an organic, everyday snack. It gives a nostalgic, mid-afternoon treat vibe (think Fig Newton–style fruit bars) while promising a wholesome image because of organic grains and fruit puree. The long ingredient list of syrups, refined oils, isolated fibers, emulsifiers and gums points to a highly processed, uniform chewy texture and extended shelf life consistent with ultraprocessed foods.
