3 at/over limit

Measured by an independent lab and compared against published safety limits.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)570 ppbof 6 ppb
Over the limit — 95×US EPA drinking-water MCL, 40 CFR 141.61(c) — 0.006 mg/L. Applied to all foods as the TIGHTEST published DEHP number; the EU food-contact limit is looser (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442: SML 0.6 mg/kg, plus the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit with DBP/BBP/DIBP).
Bisphenol a (BPA)1.9 ppbof 1 ppb
Over the limit — 1.9×EU Reg. (EU) 2024/3190 — BPA banned in food-contact materials from 20 Jan 2025 (old 0.05 mg/kg SML repealed); the residual exemptions require NO detectable migration at a 1 ug/kg detection limit. 1 ppb is therefore the tightest published number.
Dibutyl Phthalate120 ppbof 120 ppb
At the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442 — DBP SML 0.12 mg/kg (cut from 0.3). Also inside the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit (DBP x5).
Diisobutyl Phthalate12 ppbof 150 ppb
8% of the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 2023/1442 group restriction — DBP x5 + DIBP x4 + BBP x0.1 + DEHP <= 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalents, so DIBP alone may not exceed 0.15 mg/kg. DIBP is not itself an authorised substance.
Di (2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate0.16 ppmof 60 ppm
<1% of the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 — DEHT (FCM 798) SML 60 mg/kg, group restriction with DINCH. No tighter published limit exists (EFSA TDI 1 mg/kg bw/day).
Benzylbutyl PhthalateNDof 6 ppm
Not detectedEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442 — BBP SML 6 mg/kg (cut from 30). Also inside the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit (BBP x0.1 = 6 mg/kg alone).
BpfNDof 10 ppb
Not detectedNot on the EU Union list of substances authorised in food-contact plastics (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 Annex I), and Reg. 2024/3190 restricts hazardous bisphenols; no migration is permitted. Set at 0.01 mg/kg, the detection limit 10/2011 uses for not-detectable (ND) restrictions.
BPS (Bisphenol s)NDof 50 ppb
Not detectedEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 — BPS (4,4'-sulphonyldiphenol) SML 0.05 mg/kg; BfR applies the same 0.05 mg/kg.

Not detectedDNOP is not on the EU Union list of substances authorised in food-contact plastics (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 Annex I), so no migration is permitted. Set at 0.01 mg/kg, the detection limit 10/2011 uses for not-detectable (ND) restrictions.

Common questions

Is RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry healthy?

RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry scores 0/100 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 Fruit & Vanilla Bars. 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 Protein Bar Strawberry?

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

Does RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry contain seed oils?

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

How processed is RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry?

RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

How does RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry compare to other protein & snack bars?

At 0/100 RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry scores worse than most protein & snack bars we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein & snack bars is LÄRABAR Blueberry Muffin Bars at 99/100.

Is RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry organic?

RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry is not certified organic in our data.

Has RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry been lab tested?

Yes. 18 substances in RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry have a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against. Other products in its family (RXBAR Fruit & Vanilla Bars), which share its base recipe, were lab tested too. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Their results are in the family's Contaminants section above.

Does RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry contain heavy metals?

RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry itself has not been tested for heavy metals, but other products in its family, which share its base recipe, have: a lab detected arsenic at 7 ppb against a 10 ppb limit in Vanilla Almond Protein Bars, 5 ct and lead at 26 ppb against a 5 ppb limit in Vanilla Almond Protein Bars, 5 ct. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Its own results may differ.

Does RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry contain phthalates?

Yes. A lab detected DEHP at 570 ppb against a 6 ppb limit, dibutyl phthalate at 120 ppb against a 120 ppb limit and diisobutyl phthalate at 12 ppb against a 150 ppb limit in RXBAR Protein Bar Strawberry. It tested for 8 other phthalates and found none above its detection limit. Each reading is in the Contaminants section above. Other products in its family, which share its base recipe, were tested too: a lab tested them for benzylbutyl phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, diethylphthalate, dihexyl phthalate and 3 others and found none above its detection limit. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests.
