Limit When Possible

Mixed or weaker nutrition and ingredient signals suggest looking for better options when you can.

Quick answer

Limit When Possible

Kind chocolate chunk energy bar is rated limit when possible overall, with a Longevity Score of 62 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 68 out of 100. Whole-grain and seed based bar with decent fiber and protein, but added sugars and syrups keep the profile moderate. Strengths include oats, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, millet whole grains, about 5g fiber and 10g protein per bar, and relatively few additives and no artificial colors, while main considerations include multiple added sugars: tapioca syrup, cane sugar, honey, raisin paste, about 13g sugar per bar, and canola oil and chocolate chunks add processing.
