Aldi Chewy Choc Chip Muesli Bars | Chewsday Review

I’m back with another muesli bar review! Today’s Chewsday Review looks at Aldi’s Chewy Choc Chip Muesli Bars. Let’s see how they stack up.

Ingredients

Wholegrains (54%) [Oats, Wholegrain Cereal Crisps (Rye, Wheat)], Glucose Syrup, Polydextrose Liquid, Milk Compound Chocolate (8%) {Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Milk Solids, Alkalised Cocoa Powder, Emulsifiers [492. 322 (From Soy)], Natural Flavour}, Vegetable Oil, Desiccated Coconut [Contains Preservative (223 or 220)], Invert Sugar, Humectant (422), Emulsifier (322 From Soy), Cocoa Extract, Natural Flavours, Caramelised Sugar, Natural Colour (160b).
Glucose syrup, invert sugar, and caramelised sugar are all types of added sugar.
Polydextrose liquid is a type of fibre that’s often added to foods to help boost the fibre content.
Allergens: Wheat, Milk, Soy and Sulphites
May contain: Peanuts, Sesame, Egg and Tree Nuts

Positives

Sugar content of 12g per 100g is within recommendations, coming to under a teaspoon (3.8g) of sugar per bar. This is comparable to most Carman’s muesli bars and Arnott’s Bluey Muesli Bars.
Low in sodium (22mg per 100g), as I expected for a sweet snack.
High in dietary fibre, with one bar providing 4g fibre, or 30% of a younger child’s and 20% of a school aged child’s recommended daily fibre intake.
A cheaper option at only $1.99 for 6 bars ($0.33 each), compared to Carman’s ($1.15 each) or Uncle Toby’s ($0.83 each).
