Our take

CleanPlate review

Peanuts first, but the coating is hydrogenated.

RiteBite's Choco Delite bar leads with 18% peanuts, plus oats, rice and quinoa crisps, seeds and fruit, in a maltitol-sweetened dark compound. It is fortified with vitamins A, C and E and calcium.

CleanPlate scores it [F][R][L]BD3. The B for nutrition leans on added vitamins and calcium. The D for ingredients and label reflects a hydrogenated fat we treat as partially hydrogenated, maltitol, and a "protein bar" name for a bar that is only 8% protein by calories. The 3 for risk comes from high energy density.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “4g Protein Bar”

    Misleading

    The 4 g per bar is accurate, but protein supplies only 8% of the calories. At 510 kcal per 100 g, this is a nut and cereal bar, not a protein bar.

  • Product name

    “Choco”

    Partly true

    Cocoa solids are in the coating, but their % isn't declared.

Sodium

Saturated fat

Trans fat
0 g

Scored on added sugar, sodium and saturated fat, with a penalty for trans fat.

[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

[R] Contains an ingredient on our red-flag list (such as a partially hydrogenated oil or a flagged synthetic dye), which cuts the ingredient grade.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Peanuts (18%), rolled oats (8%) and peanut butter (7%) are declared. Sweetness comes from maltitol, with 15 g of maltitol per 100 g. Total sugar is 3.25 g.

Per 100 g: 510 kcal, 10.25 g protein, 5.75 g fibre, 25.5 g fat (4.5 g saturated) and 119 mg sodium. Vitamins A, C and E and calcium are added.

Ingredients to watch

  • Hydrogenated fat (type not stated)Concern

    The label doesn't say whether this fat is fully or partially hydrogenated. Partial hydrogenation creates trans fat, and a 0 g trans fat line can still hide small amounts, so we treat it as partially hydrogenated until the maker confirms otherwise.

  • MaltitolWorth watching

    15 g per 100 g. It can cause bloating in larger amounts.

  • Energy densityWorth watching

    510 kcal per 100 g, high even for a snack bar.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "4 g protein makes it a protein bar"

The name is literal: about 4 g per bar. It is closer to a nut snack.

Myth: "Sugar-free means low calorie"

At 510 kcal per 100 g, it is very energy-dense.

How often, and how

  • AdultsOne bar as an occasional snack
  • ChildrenNot needed; fruit and nuts are simpler
  • Sensitive stomachTry half first because of maltitol

Smarter ways to eat it

Swap for whole nuts

A handful of peanuts and a date gives a similar profile with fewer additives.

Keep it for travel

Useful when real food is not available.

Common questions
