Summary

Misfits Health Caramel Popcorn Protein Bar scores 35/100. Despite impressive macros (15g protein, 1g sugar), this is a heavily processed product. The protein comes from three isolated plant sources (soy, pea, rice protein isolates). Contains Maltitol — the sugar alcohol with the highest glycemic index and well-documented laxative effects. Sunflower oil is a seed oil high in inflammatory omega-6. Natural flavors and lecithins (unspecified source) round out the ultra-processed profile. The 'plant-based' and 'gluten-free' branding masks a NOVA 4 formulation.
