What You Should Know

You'd spot these bite-sized honey mustard pretzels in the snack aisle, at a party bowl, or in a kid's lunchbox — an easy grab for sharing or quick munching. They give a nostalgic, indulgent sweet-and-tangy vibe, but the long ingredient list and shelf-stable texture point to an industrially made snack. The crunchy mouthfeel and flavor come from refined flours, added syrups, oils and flavor extracts that are typical of ultra-processed products.

Common Questions about Honey Mustard Pretzel Bites, 9 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! These pretzel bites are a fun snack option, but they're not a health food per se. With 130 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per ounce, they’re a treat rather than a staple. Think of them as a tasty indulgence rather than your go-to for a balanced diet.
