Ingredient Analysis
The base consists of gluten-free oats and fruit-flavored pieces, but the formulation is heavily supported by a combination of cane sugar, invert syrup, and agave. The use of various concentrates, starches, and vegetable extracts reflects a highly processed approach to create the small, shelf-stable clusters.
