Why C?

While the bar offers a solid 18g of protein per 55g serving with only 2.4g of sugar, it contains several ultra-processed ingredients, multiple emulsifiers and sweeteners, and uses palm oil. It strikes a balance between indulgence and functional snacking but falls short of a 'clean label' product.
