How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Every check we ran
Intake method matches the research
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (prebiotic fiber). For example, prebiotic fiber: daily use; effects build over weeks as gut flora shift. Sources: NIH ODS — Fiber overview (MVMS context), PubMed search: inulin prebiotic randomized trial.
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 749826138879 to "Chocolate Peanut Butter Gluten Free Bar" (Pure Protein) — consistent with this listing.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 7 actives sum to 9,261 mg, which fits inside the ≈50,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
12 servings × 50 g = 600 g, matching the printed net weight 600 g (NET WT. 21.16 oz (600g)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. YouBar recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2017-06-14: “Firm was notified by supplier that cashew butter used in protein bars is under recall due to the potential of Listeria monocytogenes.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Too Busy To Eat - The Pure Protein Bar - Double Chocolate Chip; Made with Grass fed whey protein, Gluten Free, 20 g fiber, 20 g protein 2.46 oz. (70 g) YouBar Inc. Monterey Pa” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,876 on 2026-01-24 to 2,187 on 2026-07-20 (net +311). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary Fiber | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–10 g) · bar = this label | 1 g — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Verifiability profile — 3 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.
