Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Inulin (Chicory Root)

A prebiotic fiber added to 'healthy' snacks. While natural, processed inulin can cause severe gas and digestive distress in sensitive individuals.

Soy Protein Isolate

A highly processed protein. The extraction process often uses hexane (a neurotoxin). It also contains high levels of phytoestrogens.

Brown Rice Syrup

A sweetener often touted as healthy, but has a very high glycemic index and often contains traces of arsenic.

Full Ingredients List:

dry roasted almonds, dry roasted cashews, fiber blend (soluble tapioca fiber, inulin), dark chocolate flavored coating (organic sugar, palm kernel oil, cocoa powder, cocoa powder [processed with alkali], unsweetened chocolate, sunflower lecithin, natural flavor), pumpkin seeds, honey, sunflower seeds, soy protein isolate, brown rice syrup, walnuts, sea salt, natural flavor, soy lecithin, tapioca starch, caramelized sugar syrup

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Better Nut Bar Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 75/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Inulin (Chicory Root). A prebiotic fiber added to 'healthy' snacks. While natural, processed inulin can cause severe gas and digestive distress in sensitive individuals. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 13g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 3 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Better Nut Bar Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt achieves a CakeID Score of 75/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.
