2/5

claims fully supported

“Wheat Free”true

No wheat or wheat-derived ingredient appears anywhere in the ingredient list or allergen declaration; allergens declared are tree nuts only.

“Rich in Superfoods”unverified

'Superfoods' is a marketing term with no regulatory definition under FSSAI, EFSA, or FDA; the product does contain ingredients commonly marketed as superfoods (chia seeds, almonds, dates), but no clinical or compositional threshold exists to verify this claim.

“56% Fruit”true

Dates alone account for 57.8% of the recipe per the ingredient percentage declared; lemon juice is also present, making total fruit content slightly above 56%.

“Nutrition that fits your lifestyle”unverified

A purely subjective lifestyle marketing statement with no measurable or verifiable nutritional standard attached; no data source can confirm or deny this.

“Revive”unverified

This is the product line/variant name (confirmed in rawLabelData as variantDescriptor and productSubLine), not a functional health claim — no efficacy data needed or available.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

No refined or added sugars — all sweetness from whole dates
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives
Organic almonds and cashews declared on label
Good dietary fiber: ~7.3g per 100g
Zero trans fat
Very low sodium (~9.5mg per 100g)

Working against

High natural sugar from dates: ~36g per 100g
Relatively high saturated fat (~8.6g per 100g) from coconut and cashews
Declared tree-nut allergens (almonds, cashew) — not suitable for nut-allergic individuals
Nutrition values on primary label appear to be per-serving figures mislabelled as per-100g (likely OCR/transcription error)
No FSSAI licence number visible — traceability limited

Who should approach with care

Nut Allergy — Both almonds and cashew nuts are declared major tree-nut allergens (EU Reg 1169/2011, US FALCPA); ingestion by sensitised individuals can cause severe anaphylaxis.

Diabetes — Dates comprise 57.8% of the bar and supply ~36g natural sugars per 100g (predominantly glucose and fructose), warranting careful portion control and blood glucose monitoring in people with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Infants — Whole dates and tree nuts pose choking hazards for infants; cashew nut introduction should follow paediatric allergen-introduction guidance; dry chia seeds swell on contact with liquid and pose an oesophageal obstruction risk.

Children — Whole cashews and almonds are a choking risk in young children, citric acid exposure may contribute to dental enamel erosion in developing dentition, and tree-nut allergen status warrants supervised first exposure.

Kidney Disease — Dates, almonds, and cashews are concentrated sources of potassium, phosphorus, and oxalates; lemon juice and citric acid alter urinary mineral excretion — patients on potassium- or phosphorus-restricted diets should seek medical advice before consuming.

Heart Disease — Desiccated coconut is very high in saturated fat (predominantly lauric acid at ~8.6g sat fat per 100g of bar); individuals with dyslipidaemia or existing cardiovascular disease should moderate intake in line with clinical dietary guidance.

Ibs — Dates are high in FODMAPs (fructose, sorbitol); desiccated coconut adds high fibre; citric acid and lemon juice may irritate the GI tract — collectively these may trigger bloating, cramping, or altered bowel habits in IBS sufferers.

Ibd — The combination of high fat and fibre from coconut, and potential pro-inflammatory residues from manufactured citric acid (via Aspergillus niger fermentation), may be poorly tolerated during active IBD flares.

The full analysis

This bar is bought by health-conscious urban Indian consumers looking for a clean, on-the-go snack without refined sugar or artificial ingredients. The ingredient list is impressively short and mostly whole-food: dates (57.8%) supply all the sweetness and binding, organic almonds and cashews add healthy fats and protein, and chia seeds contribute omega-3 ALA and fiber. The one flag worth noting is the significant discrepancy between the nutrition values provided in the primary data field (which appear to be per-serving/30g figures incorrectly labelled as per-100g) and the rawLabelData per-100g panel, which shows 459 kcal, 36g sugars, and 21g fat per 100g — the per-100g panel from rawLabelData is used here as it aligns with the ingredient proportions. The most useful takeaway: this is a genuinely minimally-adulterated product whose main concern is its concentrated natural-sugar load from dates, making portion awareness important for people managing blood sugar.
