The catch

Each 36g bar has 8g of added sugar from five different sweeteners and only 2g of protein, so it is closer to a soft cookie than a fueling snack. (source)

The honest take

This is a soft baked organic oat bar aimed at kids, built on an organic oat blend with a short, recognizable ingredient list and USDA Organic, Non GMO, and kosher certifications. The catch is the sweetness. A single 36g bar carries 8g of added sugar from five separate sweeteners (tapioca syrup, cane sugar, invert cane syrup, molasses, and honey), and EWG pegs it at about 31 percent sugar by weight. With only 2g of protein and 2g of fiber, it acts more like a lightly better cookie than a filling snack, so a health minded parent would reach for it as an occasional lunchbox treat rather than real fuel.
