Yoga Bar 20g Protein Bar - Chocolate Brownie
Yoga Bar's 20g Protein Bar in Chocolate Brownie flavor combines 20-21g of complete protein from whey concentrate, whey isolate, and plant sources with whole food ingredients including almonds, dates, flaxseed, and dark chocolate, delivering approximately 320 calories and 27g carbohydrates per 70g serving. [3][37][47] The formulation excludes artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and trans fats, positioning it within the Indian healthy snacking category that Yoga Bar pioneered following its 2014 founding.
Why this verdict
Nothing disqualifying. No disqualifying red flag was found in the current six-axis assessment.
This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.
[3][13][47] Sweetness derived from whole food sources including honey and dates rather than refined sugars or artificial sweeteners including sucralose or aspartame.
[13][31] Processing justified by protein concentration and shelf stability requirements, but does not constitute NOVA 4 ultra-processed formulation.
Total fat 14.4g per 70g bar (20.6g per 100g equivalent) composed of rice bran oil containing cardioprotective gamma-oryzanol, almonds providing MUFA and PUFA, and dark chocolate cocoa butter.[1][6][15][37] Formulation explicitly excludes palm oil, hydrogenated fats, and trans fats, with product marketing claiming 'no trans-fat' verification.[5][12]
[1][3][31] Protein bar category typically contains 100-250mg sodium per serving; without verified quantitative data, precise WHO compliance cannot be conclusively established.
Independent Unbox Health lab testing assigned 9.9/10 label accuracy score, validating marketing claims of no added sugar, no synthetic preservatives, and high complete protein content.[31] Ingredient declaration matches brand narrative: whole foods plus natural prebiotic fiber plus rosemary extract serving as natural antimicrobial preservative alternative to synthetic additives.[13][31][48]
No FSSAI enforcement notices, mandatory recalls, or regulatory action identified across brand's decade-long operational history.[11][31] Unbox Health independent testing awarded perfect 10/10 non-toxicity score with screening for aflatoxins, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury—all parameters within safe limits.[31][48]
