What the AI looks for in Fruit Bars
- Fruit vs fruit concentrate
- Prefer whole fruit or purée; treat 'fruit juice concentrate' high in the list as added sugar Concentrates are functionally sweeteners even when the front says 'made with real fruit'.
- Added sugar
- Pure-fruit bars should show zero added sugar This is what separates real fruit bars from fruit-flavored candy.
- Fiber
- Check the fiber line; whole-fruit bars carry noticeably more than juice-based ones Fiber slows the sugar hit and is the main nutritional benefit of the format.
Brands that matter
- That's It: Two-ingredient fruit bars free of top allergens.
- BEAR: Pure fruit rolls and yoyos for kids.
- Nature's Bakery: Fig-filled whole-wheat bars.
- Larabar: Date-based bars that also include nuts.
What to avoid
- Fruit snacks made mostly of juice concentrate and gelatin
- Bars that add cane sugar on top of fruit
