Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the ‘Perfect Bars Crispy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Layers’ struggle to meet the standards for cleaner food options. Despite its organic ingredients, the product’s use of added sugars, including cane sugar and tapioca syrup, detracts from its nutritional profile. Notably, it is not fully organic, which negatively impacts its rating on our scale.
The product prides itself on a mix of organic ingredients, such as peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, and a variety of whole food powders from vegetables like kale and spinach to fruits like orange and lemon. This inclusion of diverse, organic ingredients is commendable and aligns with healthier food choices. However, the presence of added sugars, specifically cane sugar and tapioca syrup, compromises the healthfulness of the bar.
The ‘Perfect Bars Crispy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Layers’ do not contain GMO ingredients, which is a positive aspect. The non-GMO stance aligns with consumer demand for foods that are not genetically modified, offering a level of transparency and trust.
The product also includes a variety of oils, such as flax seed oil, sesame seed oil, olive oil, and pumpkin seed oil, which are notable for their health benefits. Yet, the overall ingredient composition does not fully support the criteria set for clean eating due to the aforementioned added sugars and the product not being entirely organic.
The score reflects the necessity for improvement to elevate the product’s standing within the clean food space. The product has the potential to serve as a healthier option if the formulation is revised to exclude harmful added sugars and to ensure all ingredients are organic. The current rating indicates there is significant room for enhancement, with the goal of providing a truly clean and healthy snack alternative.
