Kirkland Signature Snack Bar

by Kirkland Signature

A middle-tier snack bar that's better than candy but still contains processed ingredients and added sugars. Provides some protein and fiber but relies on soy protein and corn syrup solids for structure and sweetness.

• Soy protein isolate – controversial · Highly processed protein that may contain residual hexane and could affect hormone levels in some individuals.
• Corn syrup solids – controversial · Processed sweetener that spikes blood sugar and provides empty calories without nutrients.
• Sugar – controversial · Refined sugar that contributes to blood sugar spikes and inflammation when consumed regularly.
• Soybean oil – controversial · Highly processed seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids that can promote inflammation.
• Rice flour – safe · Simple carbohydrate that provides structure and is generally well-tolerated.
• Glycerin – safe · Humectant that keeps the bar soft and moist, generally recognized as safe.
