Luna Bar
Summary
Luna Bar scores 35/100. Clif Bar's sister brand marketed toward women, but the ingredient quality is equally poor. Soy protein isolate is the primary protein source, extracted with chemical solvents. Brown rice syrup and cane sugar are top ingredients — 9g sugar per bar. Sunflower/soybean oil, palm kernel oil, natural flavors, glucose syrup, and soy lecithin complete the ultra-processed profile. The organic oats are the only redeeming ingredient.
