What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the natural-snacks or candy aisle and grab it when you want a small, chocolatey treat on the go. It reads indulgent yet a bit wholesome—positioned as a cleaner, coconut-forward alternative to mainstream candy. The short ingredient list and absence of emulsifiers or artificial additives indicate limited reformulation, but the industrial processing of cassava syrup and chocolate into a ready-to-eat bar points to a processed packaged snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are simple and recognizable with no obvious additives, but the use of processed components like cassava syrup and manufactured chocolate in a packaged ready-to-eat confection indicates a processed product (NOVA 3) rather than minimally processed or ultra-formulated.
