Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Full Ingredients List:

Granola* (rolled oats*, tapioca syrup*, sugar*, sunflower oil*, sea salt, vanilla extract*, baking soda), tapioca syrup*, crisp rice* (rice flour*, sugar*, raisin juice concentrate*, sea salt, annatto color*), semisweet chocolate chips* (sugar*, chocolate liquor*, cocoa butter*, dextrose*, vanilla*), rice flour*, glycerin, whole oat flour*, sunflower oil*, cream*, vanilla extract*.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Organic Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars 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 60/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Dextrose. A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 23g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 6 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, Organic Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars achieves a CakeID Score of 60/100.

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.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.

Gut Health

Good fiber content.
