What You Should Know

You'd find these bite-size chews in the grab-and-go snack aisle or near the checkout, pulled out when you need a quick sweet-and-salty boost between errands or after a workout. They give a convenient, slightly indulgent 'healthier snack' vibe — chewy and sweet from dates but marketed as protein-rich. The presence of protein isolates, rice starch, juice concentrate and 'natural flavor' and their engineered chewiness point to industrial processing consistent with NOVA 4 ultraprocessed foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Includes industrially processed ingredients like pea and brown rice protein isolates, rice starch, white grape juice concentrate and natural flavor, which are formulations and extracts typical of ultra-processed products, and the texture/taste are engineered rather than just whole-food based.
