What You Should Know

You'd find this NO COW Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar in the protein-bar aisle, the gym bag pocket, or the office snack drawer — a grab-and-go treat pitched as a healthy, lower-sugar indulgence. Its chewy, candy-like texture and cookie-dough flavor are produced by industrial ingredients and formulations (soluble corn fiber, glycerine, protein isolates, sweetener blends, natural flavors and processed chocolate chips), which are hallmarks of ultra-processed products (NOVA 4).
