How BA3 breaks down

Clean, minimally processed
whole-food ingredient list (cashews, dates, whey concentrate, almonds, cocoa butter, raisins, cranberries), zero synthetic additives, only natural lecithin as processing aid
Moderate risk
moderate-high risk from very high energy density and natural sugar/sat-fat share, though nothing artificial or ultra-processed
