What You Should Know

You'd spot this bar in the health-food or snack aisle, or toss one in your bag for between-meal fuel on a busy day or after a workout. It gives a wholesome-but-indulgent vibe — like a cleaner, organic take on a chocolate chip cookie compressed into a portable bar. The short, recognizable ingredient list belies industrial processing: concentrated ingredients (peanut flour, added oils and sweeteners) and a manufactured, shelf-stable texture point toward industrial formulation typical of NOVA-classified ultra-processed products.
