Summary

This snack bar contains several beneficial ingredients such as organic roasted peanuts, dates, and unrefined coconut oil, which provide healthy fats and natural sweetness. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of pea protein crisps and sunflower lecithin, which contribute to its processing level. Despite the use of organic ingredients, the processing level limits its score, and the presence of sunflower lecithin adds to the processed nature of the product.
