Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Snickers Hi Protein Original bar positions itself as a protein-rich alternative to the traditional Snickers candy bar. However, our evaluation criteria, focused on promoting cleaner and healthier food options, reveal significant drawbacks in this product’s composition.

The bar is not organic, and it contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately reduces its standing on our scale. Furthermore, the inclusion of added sugars, such as stevia and sugar, detracts from the product’s healthfulness. Our assessment places considerable emphasis on the purity and nutritional quality of ingredients, and the presence of these sugars does not align with our standards for a clean diet.

The Snickers Hi Protein Original bar also incorporates a range of additives, some of which raise health concerns. Natural flavor, soy lecithin, and glycerin are among the ingredients that lead to a deduction in the product’s score due to their potential impact on health. More concerning is the inclusion of carrageenan, an additive often scrutinized for its possible negative health effects, which significantly impacts the product’s overall rating.

Another area of concern is the use of oils in the product. Palm kernel oil and palm oil are not only associated with health risks but also with environmental issues related to their production. The use of these oils contributes to the product’s low score, as our commitment extends to environmental responsibility alongside individual health.

The Snickers Hi Protein Original bar, therefore, receives the lowest possible rating on our scale. Our assessment is based on the presence of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and harmful oils. These factors combined suggest that this product falls short of the standards we advocate for cleaner food options. Consumers seeking healthier alternatives would be advised to consider other products that better align with the principles of a clean and nutritious diet.
