15 Nov 2019 --- Despite more than one in three people believing protein bars to be “healthy,” 77 percent of offerings are high in saturated fat, while 38 percent contain chocolate as a main ingredient. This is according to a new report from Safefood, the public body responsible for promoting awareness and knowledge of food safety and nutrition issues on the island of Ireland. The report concludes that adults’ protein needs can be met by consuming a varied diet containing a range of protein sources, without the inclusion of commercial high-protein food products.
