This is my nomination, True Fruit Bars 100% Tropical Fruit…saw this last time at the supermarket. The colourful packaging and label indicating that it was

  • 100% Tropical Fruits
  • an ideal snack (possibly for a child’s school lunchbox)
  • no added sugar
  • no fat
  • No preservatives, additives or colourings
  • Low GI
  • High in dietary fibre & protein

drew our attention and surely must be good for you. After reading the nutritional panel,

we left it on the shelves as it has total sugars higher than most chocolates (including bars and flavoured types) and also very high in energy. We wouldn’t call it a snack, but a unhealthy treat food based on tropical fruits.
