Ingredients: Whole grains (oats (rolled, fibre), whole wheat flour, cracked wheat, cracked rye, flax seeds), chocolate chunks, concentrated apple puree, canola oil, fructose, toasted soy pieces, brown sugar, glycerin, fancy molasses, egg blend, skim milk powder, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, natural flavour.

I'll probably eat them occasionally anyway as I am on Phase 3, but I am curious to know if they are legal. I've had a hard time finding legal snack bars where I live (PEI, Canada). According to their website there are other varieties, but this store only had the one kind.

Thanks,

Erinn, who has been lurking since January and has lost 20 lbs!

First off, congrats on your weight loss! That's great! :o)

These would not be "legal" due to the fructose, brown sugar and molasses--but on Phase 3 they look like they would be OK as an OCCASIONAL treat--sounds yummy!
