Summary
The FruitSource Bar is primarily composed of fruit juice concentrates, which contribute to its high sugar content. While it contains beneficial ingredients like elderberry juice concentrate, the presence of 'natural flavor' and the high level of processing limit its health benefits. The product's processing level and the use of concentrated sugars prevent it from scoring higher.
