Food Integrity Score
62/100
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 68 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 62 out of 100. Whole-grain and seed based bar with fiber, but added sugars, canola oil, and chocolate chunks lower its overall alignment. Strengths include whole grains: oats, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, millet, good fiber, about 5 g per bar, and minimal additives beyond flavors and vitamin e, while main considerations include multiple added sugars: tapioca syrup, cane sugar, honey, raisin paste, canola oil among fats, and protein is low for a bar (0 g per label).
