Still Curious?

Why C?

This protein bar earns a C due to its excellent protein content (34g per 100g), moderate saturated fat, and low sugar content. However, it is downgraded due to the presence of multiple artificial and red-flag ingredients such as sucralose, maltitol, and caramel color. It also uses palm-like oils (rapeseed) and glycerol. These ingredients place it in the 'processed' category. To reach a B, the bar would need to reduce artificial sweeteners and rely more on natural or minimally processed alternatives. An A would require eliminating all red ingredients and using whole food-based proteins and sweeteners.
