Summary

CLIF ZBar Iced Oatmeal Cookie scores 45/100. USDA Organic certified, which is a meaningful baseline — no synthetic pesticides, GMOs, or artificial preservatives. Built on a real organic oat base with organic fig paste providing natural fiber. However, contains four forms of sweetener (tapioca syrup, cane sugar, invert cane syrup, and molasses), organic high oleic sunflower oil (still a seed oil despite better fatty acid profile), organic soy flour, organic soy lecithin, and natural flavor. The organic certification elevates it above conventional snack bars, but four sweeteners and seed oil are notable concerns. Marketed to children, making ingredient quality especially important.
