Can you eat the bar every day, and are there any limits on the amount? — COCO bar, coconut-almond, 40 g - SNAQ FABRIQ

The bar weighs 40 g and is meant for one snack. It contains several kinds of fibre — water-soluble corn fibre, inulin and oligofructose. All of them are beneficial for digestion in moderate amounts, but a sudden increase in fibre intake or individual sensitivity to it can cause bloating or stomach discomfort. This is a general feature of products high in dietary fibre, not something specific to this particular bar.

The sweeteners that replace sugar are also tolerated differently from person to person: most people notice no reaction at all, but in some — especially when eating several such products in a day — a mild laxative effect is possible. If you already eat other products with sweeteners, it is worth keeping track of the total amount.

A sensible approach is to start with one bar a day, see how you feel, and add it to your usual diet if there is no discomfort. The bar is not a substitute for a balanced diet. Also bear in mind that it contains milk components and soy lecithin, which matters if you have a milk or soy allergy. If you have a chronic digestive condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a specialist before eating it regularly.
