What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the protein-bar aisle or in the grab-and-go section of a grocery store — an on-the-go 'cookie dough' protein bar marketed as a low-sugar, high-protein treat. It leans into nostalgic indulgence while the chewy, sweet texture and ingredient list (glycerine, soluble corn fiber, erythritol/stevia/monk fruit sweetener blend, protein blends, processed chocolate chips and palm oil) reveal extensive industrial formulation typical of ultra-processed foods.
