Name: Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar
Brand: PURE PROTEIN

Munch or Dump rates Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar by PURE PROTEIN DUMP — score 17/90.

A lab-built protein bar stacking four sweeteners (maltitol, maltitol syrup, sucrose, sucralose) with fractionated palm kernel oil and collagen filler. The '3g sugar' headline hides sugar alcohols that wreck your gut, not real nutrition.

Why this verdict

Four sweetener sources: maltitol, maltitol syrup, sucrose, and sucralose
Maltitol in bar doses commonly causes bloating, gas, and diarrhea
Fractionated palm kernel oil is a refined, highly-saturated fat
Protein is padded with cheap hydrolyzed collagen filler
Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with soy isolates, tapioca starch, and natural flavors

Ingredients (15)

maltitol (caution) — Sugar alcohol that still raises blood sugar and is a well-known cause of bloating and diarrhea at bar-sized doses.
maltitol syrup (concerning) — A second maltitol source, adding to the total sugar-alcohol load and digestive distress.
fractionated palm kernel oil (caution) — Heavily refined tropical oil, high in saturated fat, used for the candy coating.
Hydrolyzed Collagen (moderate) — Incomplete protein used to pad the gram count cheaply; not equivalent to whey.
Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial sweetener; unexpected in a bakery pie and a second sweetness source.
sucrose (concerning) — Plain added table sugar layered on top of the sugar alcohols and sucralose.
Soy protein isolate (soy crisps) (moderate) — Highly processed protein fraction used for crunch and protein padding.
TAPIOCA STARCH (moderate) — Refined starch used for binding and chew, nutritionally empty.
glycerin (moderate) — Humectant that keeps the bar soft and shelf-stable.
Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
Milk/whey protein isolate blend (safe) — Genuine high-quality complete protein; the one real nutritional positive here.
Peanut flour / peanuts / peanut oil (safe) — Real peanut content provides some protein, healthy fats, and flavor.
almond butter (safe) — Real nut ingredient; a minor but genuine whole-food component.
cocoa processed with alkali (safe) — Dutched cocoa for chocolate flavor and color.
