Vegan Snack Bars

We ran 250 snack bars through our vegan rules: 46 pass, 64 need a label check, and 140 don't make it.

Honey is the quiet blocker of this aisle: it slips into bars that read plant-based at first glance. Add milk chocolate coatings, whey protein and the occasional gelatin, and label reading becomes worthwhile. Date, nut and oat bars with short recipes carry the pass list.
