"The packaging says each serving contains 150 calories and 28 grams of protein (along with 12 grams of carbs, two grams of fat, and zero grams of sugar), but third-party testing at Anresco Laboratories claims they contain 268 - 275 calories and 11 - 13.5 grams of fat."
"According to Sahar Berjis, RD, a dietitian, nutrition coach, and CEO of Inner Health & Wellness, the discrepancy comes down to how the numbers are calculated. The laboratory tests measure the total calories present in food, while nutrition labels reflect the calories the body is expected to absorb."
David Protein bars gained popularity after launching in September, marketed as high-protein, low-calorie snacks. In January, a class action lawsuit alleged the company knowingly misrepresented nutrition information. Independent lab testing at Anresco Laboratories found the bars contain 268-275 calories and 11-13.5 grams of fat, compared to advertised values of 150 calories and 2 grams of fat. However, nutrition experts note the discrepancy may stem from different calculation methods: laboratory tests measure total calories present in food, while nutrition labels reflect calories the body is expected to absorb. The lawsuit claims this labeling violates FDA guidelines and that consumers would not have purchased the bars or would have paid less with accurate information.
