The short read
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.
Why this result?
We ran this product through public-record checks — label math, barcode registries, FDA recall lists, published lab tests. This banner sums up what those checks could and couldn’t confirm. Green means nothing public contradicted the label — not proof it works or is safe. Gray means the data to check simply isn’t public: a gap, not a verdict. We show the evidence; the conclusion is yours.
Confirmed evidence
What checked out04
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Taken the way the research studied it
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.
Every ingredient 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.
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
Open Food Facts resolves 888849000036 to "CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH" (QUEST) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
What needs caution01
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Printed pack numbers don't reconcile
12 × 60 g = 720 g vs printed net weight 60 g — recorded as a discrepancy to explain.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing03
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Reviews not analysed yet
Marketplace rating 4.4★ across 20,684 ratings. Authenticity not analysed: burst, purge and stockout patterns need price/review history.
No label filed with NIH's public catalog
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
This brand had a recall in the past (now closed)
Brand-level history, not a finding about this product. Quest Nutrition, LLC recalled a product on 2018-10-10: “Undeclared allergen; tree nut (almonds)” (status: Terminated, case closed). 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.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
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
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
