Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

Kirkland Signature Dipped & Chewy Caramel Granola Bars scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 2g protein and 13g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Kirkland Signature Dipped & Chewy Caramel Granola Bars lists 37 ingredients, starting with Milk Chocolate, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Ingredients and Chocolate Liquor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

140 kcal per serving, or 452 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kirkland Signature Dipped & Chewy Caramel Granola Bars on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
