Ingredients: Refer to each product for full list of ingredients

1 Bar of Macadamia Chocolate

1 Bar of Apple Cinnamon Crisp

1 Bar of Strawberry Coconut

1 Bar of Salted Maple Pecan

1 Bar of Dark Chocolate Chip

1 Bar of Black Sesame Sea Salt

CONTAINS: Tree Nuts (Almond, Pecans, Cashew, Walnuts, Macadamia and Coconut), and Sesame.

Made in a gluten free certified facility that handles eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, and tree nuts. May contain nut shell or pit fragments.

Product Safety: YES Bars are produced in a HAACP-certified, gluten-free facility that adheres to strict allergen control protocols. The bakery is certified kosher (EarthKosher DE) and operates as a dedicated gluten-free facility with batch-level verification. YES Bar meets or exceeds FDA guidelines for gluten-free labeling and allergen disclosure.

Allergen Management: While free from gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts (except Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate flavor), grains, and refined sugars, the bars contain tree nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia) and sesame. Cross-contact risks exist due to shared equipment handling eggs, milk, peanuts, and soy.

Ingredient Transparency:

Composition: Primary ingredients include organic nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and low-glycemic sweeteners (maple syrup, coconut nectar).

Additive-Free: No preservatives, synthetic sugars, or processed proteins are used.

Sustainability: Upcycled nuts reduce food waste, and packaging is recyclable (compostable by 2027).

Potential Concerns
Allergic Reactions:

Tree Nut/Sesame Risk: The Apple Cinnamon Crisp flavor contains almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia, and sesame.

Cross-Contact: Facility handles peanuts, soy, eggs, and milk, posing trace exposure risks.

Physical Hazards:

Nut Fragments: Disclosed as potential presence of shell/pit fragments.

Contrast with Recalls: Unlike recent Class II FDA recalls for metal-contaminated granola bars, YES Bar has no reported contamination issues.

Nutritional Considerations:

Sugar Content: 6-9g per bar from natural sources (no refined sugars).

Caloric Density: Nut-heavy formulation may require portion awareness for calorie-sensitive consumers.
