What You Should Know

You'd spot this small pouch in the Whole Foods snack aisle or on a grab-and-go shelf — a portable, nut-forward chewy bite for commutes, workdays, or travel. It reads as a wholesome, convenient indulgence, but the presence of rice starch, pea and brown rice protein isolates, white grape juice concentrate and 'natural flavor' signal industrial processing and a chewy, uniform texture typical of ultra-processed snacks.
