Common questions

Is RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar healthy?

RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar scores 16/100 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, plus lab results from its product family, RXBAR Classic Variety (chocolate, peanut, blueberry). 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.

What is in RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar?

RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar lists 11 ingredients, starting with Dates, Dried Egg Whites, Cashews, Almonds and Unsweetened Chocolate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Bar’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
