Ingredient Decoder
High Risk Additives
Peanut
One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times.
Moderate Caution
Agave Nectar
Marketed as healthy, but it is actually 70-90% fructose (higher than HFCS). Excessive fructose taxes the liver and contributes to insulin resistance.
Inulin (Chicory Root)
A prebiotic fiber added to 'healthy' snacks. While natural, processed inulin can cause severe gas and digestive distress in sensitive individuals.
Sunflower Oil
Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Health Integrity Analysis
Is Happy Wholesome Protein Balls 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 65/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.
⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags
The ingredient list reveals the presence of Peanut. One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.
The Sugar Reality Check
This product contains 18g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 5 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.
