Chewy Trail Mix Bar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bar 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 2g fiber, 2g protein and 8g 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.

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bar lists 43 ingredients, starting with Oats, Corn Syrup, Candy Coated Chocolate Pieces, Semi-sweet Chocolate and Sugar. 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 400 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bar on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bar scores worse than most protein & snack bars we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein & snack bars is That’s It Apple + Strawberries Fruit Bar at 100/100.
