What the label actually says
Start with the ingredient list. On all three labels raw honey is listed second, right after peanut butter, and the entry carries the organic-ingredient note. The label also names coconut sugar in Coffee Latte’s chocolate chips and cane sugar in White Chocolate Toffee’s white-chocolate chips, so honey is the sweetener in the bar itself rather than the only sugar on the wrapper.
Then read the Nutrition Facts panel. Every flavor lists 21g protein per 1 bar (60g) and 290 calories. Total sugars run 12g to 14g per bar, with 11g to 13g of those reported on the Added Sugars line, and no flavor names a seed oil or a sugar alcohol. Honey is a sugar, so its grams count on that line too.

How honey is counted on the panel
Honey is a sugar. FDA’s added-sugars rule covers sugars added during food processing and names honey explicitly, so the grams from raw honey appear on the Added Sugars line of the Nutrition Facts panel — the same line that carries the cane sugar in White Chocolate Toffee’s chips. This is a labeling rule, not a verdict on the sweetener.
For the ingredient itself, USDA FoodData Central lists honey at about 82g of total sugars per 100g, against 99.8g for granulated sugar, and about 17g of water per 100g for honey. A gram of honey therefore carries a little less sugar than a gram of table sugar. Both remain concentrated sugars, and both count toward the added-sugars line on the label.
When you compare two bars, use the FDA’s Nutrition Facts guide to read serving size and nutrient amounts on each package. Ingredient preferences do not make one food better for you than another; the label tells you what is in the bar you are buying.
Honey-sweetened bar FAQ
Which Genesee protein bars are sweetened with raw honey?
All three current flavors list raw honey as the second ingredient, right after peanut butter. Coffee Latte's chocolate chips also list coconut sugar, and White Chocolate Toffee's white-chocolate chips also list cane sugar, so honey is the sweetener in the bar itself rather than the only sugar on the label.
Does honey count as added sugar on the label?
Yes. FDA's added-sugars rule covers sugars added during food processing and includes honey, so the grams from raw honey appear on the Added Sugars line of the Nutrition Facts panel. That is a labeling rule, not a judgment about the sweetener.
How much sugar is in each flavor?
Per 1 bar (60g): Coffee Latte lists 13g total sugars with 12g added sugars, Snickerdoodle lists 12g total with 11g added, and White Chocolate Toffee lists 14g total with 13g added. Check the package you receive for the current label.
Do the bars contain sugar alcohols?
No sugar alcohol is named on any of the three current labels. That is a statement about the ingredient list; the bars still list 12g to 14g of total sugars per bar, and honey counts on the Added Sugars line.
What allergens are in the bars?
Every flavor declares milk and peanuts, and White Chocolate Toffee also declares soy. Check your package and ask about your specific allergy before ordering.
How much protein is in a bar?
Each Nutrition Facts panel lists 21g protein per 1 bar (60g), alongside 290 calories. The protein comes from whey protein isolate, collagen and peanut butter.
