My first thought was Granola Bar!

[Guest guest]

1. I think nailed it with granola bar.

2. Hell No!

[Guest guest]

I'll offer my response...

I can't identify the product, but I would not normally eat it because:

1. a lot of sugar overall

2. soy ingredients

3. protein isolates are too highly processed

4. what in the world is " high maltose " ? - I'm automatically suspicious

5. the oils are not extra virigin

6, who knows what " natural flavors " really means

7. I would have to look up " maltodextrin "

8. I try to only eat oats that have been soaked

9. are the tocopherols synthetic or natural??

My gut reaction is that they want it to seem like a fancy, healthy food

with the inclusion of things like chicory and rosemary... that might just

be enough to bamboozle the average consumer! That's my 2 cents.

Nature Valley - They sell to Mc's, right?

What would the oil of rosemary do in such a product? On its own, it sounds

quite fascinating, but as it is almost last on the list, it would have barely

any impact on the flavor or nutrition, so what good would it do?

It is a General Mills product and this specific one is sold at

convenience stores, but Nature Valley is a whole line of granola type

bars and I think just granola too - so wouldn't be surprised if they

sold it at McDs - I haven't been in one in many years so no idea what

they sell anymore. It might be a preservative? The rosemary oil that

is. Or just to make it sound healthier? Essential oils don't need

much to make an impact though so it could be for flavor too.
