NOSHU LOW CARB CHOC MINT INDULGENCE BARS 5 PACK
This bar achieves its low-carb label through ingredient engineering rather than real food swaps. While it may fit keto macros on paper, the high dose of synthetic fibres and sugar alcohols can lead to bloating and gut discomf
WOOLWORTHS MUESLI BARS YOGHURT AND STRAWBERRY 8 PACK
Despite its 4-star Health Star Rating and wholegrain claim, this bar is far from a wholesome snack. With five forms of added sugar, just 0.8% real strawberry, and a yoghurt coating made from hydrogenated palm oil and emulsifi
UNCLE TOBYS PROTEIN CARAMEL AND DARK CHOCOLATE MUESLI BARS SCHOOL LUNCHBOX SNACKS | 175G

COLES MUESLI BARS STRAWBERRY YOGHURT TOP
This earns the same 2.5 stars as Uncle Tobys bars - and for similar reasons. Despite wholegrains, the ultra-processed coating, multiple sugars, and lack of real fruit keep it firmly in "limit" territory. At least the price re
UNCLE TOBYS MUESLI BARS CHEWY APRICOT
Small improvements don't change the big picture. Yes, 8% fruit beats the competition and the fibre content is good, but with ultra-processed sugars, multiple additives, and a 14+ ingredient list, this is still industrial food
