Ingredient Decoder
High Risk Additives
Corn Syrup
A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.
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
Canola Oil
A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.
Cottonseed Oil
Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.
Soy Protein Isolate
A highly processed protein. The extraction process often uses hexane (a neurotoxin). It also contains high levels of phytoestrogens.
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 Peanut, Almond & Dark Chocolate Protein 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 50/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.
⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags
The ingredient list reveals the presence of Corn Syrup. A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.
The Sugar Reality Check
This product contains 15g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 4 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, Peanut, Almond & Dark Chocolate Protein Chewy Granola Bars achieves a CakeID Score of 50/100.
