Vitaminbars classified as "bad" by Yuka app

[ikhayal]

Hi team,

Just of curiosity, I tried to scan my Chocolate Vitaminbar with the Yuka app (which is becoming very popular among those trying to be conscientious on what they're eating) and to my surprise, it was classified as "bad" by the app according to them due to a high quantity of Chloride. Is that right? I'm telling you because this might create confusion among the customers and I'm sure there's an explanation for this.

Many thanks,
Ismael

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for reaching out! I understand your concern. However, I am happy to inform that this is not right.
Our bars contain only 205mg (0,2g) per serving of 85g. I'll refer you to our compare page if you would like to see what all the ingredients of our bars are https://jakefood.com/compare/.

Could you also please send an screenshot of our bars in the Yuka app to info@jakefood.com so we can look into it?

Have a nice day!

Kind regards,
Vera

I tried the same thing.

They classified it as "unhealthy" because they don't have a category for complete meal or meal replacement, so they see them as super caloric snacks without taking into account all the other important aspects of them.

Hi,

I've been in touch with Yuka and I can confirm that this is indeed true. Yuka is only taking macronutrients into account (calories, fat, sugar, etc.) and no micronutrients (vitamins, antioxydants, etc.). This causes our bars to rank 'bad', when in reality our products are healthy!

I hope this clears something up, there is nothing to worry about!

Kind regards,
Vera
