† Bars labelled with "naturally occurring sugars" (Nakd, LΓ€rabar) contain sugars entirely from dried fruit β€” these are still classified as "free sugars" by the NHS and count towards your daily limit, despite being unprocessed. Always check labels: some "protein bars" and "health bars" contain as much sugar as a regular chocolate bar. Figures reflect total sugars per bar as stated on UK packaging.
