Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
This product earns a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves. The ‘One Bars Cookies & Créme’ is a protein bar that positions itself as a healthier snack alternative. However, after a thorough review based on our clean food criteria, the bar does not meet the standards for a health-conscious consumer.
The product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which already raises concerns about its quality. The inclusion of Maltitol, a sugar alcohol, contributes to its added sugar content, while the presence of Dextrose and Sucralose increases the count of harmful added sugars. These sweeteners are often associated with negative health effects and are not aligned with cleaner food options.
Moreover, the bar contains several potentially harmful additives. The term ‘Natural Flavors’ is ambiguous and does not provide transparency about the actual ingredients. Similarly, Monoglycerides and Soy Lecithin are emulsifiers that may pose health risks and are not ideal for a product claiming to offer cleaner food options. Vegetable Glycerin, although less controversial, is still an additive that some health-conscious consumers prefer to avoid.
The use of Palm Kernel Oil is another significant drawback. Palm oil production has been linked to environmental concerns, including deforestation and habitat destruction. Health-wise, palm oils are high in saturated fats, which are not recommended for a heart-healthy diet.
The product also includes harmful oils, which further diminishes its green leaf rating. The oils used in this protein bar are not considered beneficial for a clean diet, nor do they support sustainable agricultural practices.
Based on these findings, the ‘One Bars Cookies & Créme’ does not align with our mission to promote cleaner, healthier food options. It falls short in several areas, including the use of organic and non-GMO ingredients, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and the use of harmful oils. Consumers looking for a truly clean and healthy snack might want to consider other products that better meet these criteria.
