What You Should Know

This 1.4 oz Mixed Nut Bar is the kind of grab-and-go snack you’d find in the checkout lane, vending machine or snack aisle — perfect for a quick energy boost between errands, at the gym, or tucked into a lunchbox. It reads as slightly indulgent yet wholesome thanks to visible nuts and honey, while the chewy, glued-together texture comes from added sugars and glucose syrup. Those industrial sweeteners and the ready-to-eat manufactured bar format point to a high level of processing rather than a simple whole-food snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The product combines whole nuts with industrial ingredients such as glucose syrup and added sugar and is presented as a shelf-stable, manufactured bar; these features are characteristic of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods. While it contains minimally processed nuts, the use of industrial sweeteners and formulation for texture and shelf life indicate a high degree of processing.
