LookCloser record · 888849000036 · methodology v0.1
This product can't be verified from public data Neither good nor bad — the checks below show what this listing publishes and what it withholds. Verifiable products publish more. Evidence availability only; this does not establish safety or effectiveness.
2 of 6 public trust signals found · 1 product-specific concern
The product UPC is independently confirmed to be for "Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough" protein bars. This means the listed barcode matches the product name. However, there's a discrepancy between the total net weight printed on the package and the individual bar weight, which is currently unexplained. You can check the "Supplement Facts" panel on the bottle to compare the listed ingredients and amounts to what's on the product label you have.
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
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.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Open Food Facts resolves 888849000036 to "CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH" (QUEST) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
12 × 60 g = 720 g vs printed net weight 60 g — recorded as a discrepancy to explain.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Technical check only: the panel’s 8 actives sum to 11,791 mg, which fits inside the ≈60,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Quest Nutrition, LLC recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2018-10-10: “Undeclared allergen; tree nut (almonds)” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Quest Protein Bar Vanilla Almond Crunch Single Bar UPC# - 888849000494 12 ct. Box UPC # - 888849000500” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 4,292 on 2026-02-25 to 4,681 on 2026-07-16 (net +389). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 888849000036.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
