16 Jan 2020 --- Despite an unchanged product, KIND Healthy Snacks has reduced the labeled calorie count by 10-30 calories on more than 95 percent of its nut snack bar portfolio. This is the result of research led by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Agricultural Research Service, which revealed that whole almonds and cashews contribute 19 and 16 percent fewer calories, respectively, than previously thought due to the way the body digests the fat in nuts. This discovery could have further knock-on effects for other nut brands as the current method of measuring calories is increasingly acknowledged as being outdated and inaccurate.
