Ingredient Analysis
The bar is built from gluten-free oats and chocolate chips, but the formulation relies heavily on a blend of agave, brown rice, and invert cane syrups for sweetness and binding. The addition of palm oil, natural flavors, and agar indicates a highly processed approach to achieve its shelf-stable texture and flavor.
