One Bars

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the One Bars Peanut Butter Cup ranks low on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its score. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, specifically Maltitol and the artificial sweetener Sucralose, further decreases its rating. The product also contains several potentially harmful additives such as Natural Flavor, Flavor, and Soy Lecithin, along with Glycerin. Harmful oils, including Palm Kernel Oil, are present as well, contributing to the low score.

The One Bars Peanut Butter Cup’s ingredient list reveals a reliance on processed components. The Protein Blend, featuring Milk Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Isolate, is a common base for protein bars, aiming to provide a high protein content. Soluble Vegetable Fiber and Isomalto-Oligosaccharides are included as fiber sources. However, the use of Palm Kernel Oil, a saturated fat, and the sweeteners Maltitol and Sucralose, which are artificial and may have adverse health effects, overshadow the potential benefits of protein and fiber.

Moreover, this product does not align with consumers seeking organic foods or those trying to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The non-organic nature of the ingredients and the lack of non-GMO certification contribute to its low rating. The additives, such as Soy Lecithin, a common emulsifier, and Glycerin, a humectant, are often used in processed foods but are flagged on our website for their potential harm.

The One Bars Peanut Butter Cup receives the lowest possible score on our website due to its composition. The bar’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, artificial sweeteners, potentially harmful additives, and oils like Palm Kernel Oil, make it a product that our website advises consumers to avoid. This evaluation is grounded on the criteria established to promote cleaner, healthier food options amidst a market saturated with less desirable alternatives.
