What You Should Know

You'd spot these bars in the freezer aisle or in your home freezer as a quick, grab-and-go dessert after dinner or on a hot afternoon. They give an indulgent, convenient vibe — positioned as a nut-forward treat — but the smooth, stable texture and long ingredient list (processed chocolate, refined oils, emulsifiers, gums, added fibers and flavorings) are telltale signs of industrial formulation and ultra-processing (NOVA 4).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?
