Kind Bars

Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, the Kind Bars Peanut Butter Nut Bars fall significantly short of the cleaner food options we advocate for on our website. This product is not organic, and it does not utilize non-GMO ingredients, which are foundational criteria for our evaluations. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and glucose syrup, further detracts from its score, as these ingredients contribute to the unhealthy aspects of processed foods.

Moreover, the inclusion of potentially harmful additives, specifically soy lecithin, raises concerns. Soy lecithin is often scrutinized for its ubiquitous presence in processed foods and potential health implications. The product also contains oils such as peanut oil and palm kernel oil, which we classify as harmful due to their processing methods and environmental impact, particularly in the case of palm oil.

The Kind Bars Peanut Butter Nut Bars contain peanuts, chicory root fiber, honey, peanut flour, rice flour, peanut butter, sea salt, nonfat milk powder, and peanut oil. These ingredients, while seemingly wholesome, are overshadowed by the non-organic status and the inclusion of the aforementioned additives and sugars.

Consumers seeking clean eating options are advised to avoid this product, as it does not meet the stringent standards set for healthful and environmentally conscious food choices. The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with our values of promoting cleaner, more natural food products in the market. It is our position that there are superior alternatives available that do not compromise on the principles of organic and non-GMO ingredients, and do not include harmful additives and processed oils.
