Palm Oil Free Snack Bars

We ran 906 snack bars through our palm oil free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 314 don't make it.

Cereal and protein bars need a binder, and the binder is often a fat: palm oil in the cheaper bars, cocoa butter or nut butter in the better ones. The chocolate or yogurt coating is a second place to look. A bar that names its fats by plant and lists nut butter as the binder is the usual pass.
