The ten-second label test

Flip any protein bar over and scan the ingredient list for the word “oil.” Canola, sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, rice bran — if one appears, the bar contains that named oil. An ingredient-list preference does not prove that one food is healthier than another, so compare serving size, calories, nutrients, allergens, and the complete ingredient list. The FDA’s Nutrition Facts guide explains how to use serving and nutrient information when comparing packaged foods.

The current Genesee labels list no canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, or rice-bran oil. They do list real sugar, natural flavors, milk, and peanuts; White Chocolate Toffee also lists soy lecithin and declares soy. Check the wrapper you receive because formulas can change. The longer label-first comparison is at what are seed oils and tallow vs seed oils, and tallow protein bars.

Seed-oil-free FAQ

Which seed oils do most protein bars contain?+

Canola, sunflower, soybean, and safflower oil are the usual suspects — used as binder fat, coating fat, or carriers inside 'natural flavors.' Check the ingredient list for the word 'oil'; in the mainstream bar aisle you'll find one almost every time.

What fat do Genesee bars use instead of seed oils?+

Grass-fed bison tallow is the structural fat, with cocoa butter inside the chocolate chips and the naturally occurring fat in organic peanut butter. No canola, sunflower, soybean, safflower, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, or rice bran oil appears anywhere on the label.

Are Genesee bars allergen-free?+

No. Every bar contains PEANUTS and MILK (peanut butter, whey protein isolate, and dairy in the chips), and White Chocolate Toffee additionally contains SOY (soy lecithin in its white chocolate). All three are seed-oil-free and gluten-free — but not allergen-free. Coffee Latte and Snickerdoodle are soy-free; the White Chocolate Toffee flavor is not.

What are the full ingredients?+

Coffee Latte, for example: organic peanut butter, raw organic honey, whey protein isolate, collagen, grass-fed bison tallow, organic chocolate chips (cocoa liquor, coconut sugar, cocoa butter), coffee, natural flavors, vanilla extract, sea salt, cinnamon. 290 calories, 21g protein, 17g fat, 17g carbs.

How much do they cost?+

$48 per 12-bar box one-time, or $38.40 on a 12-bar box subscription (20% off the box price — $3.20 a bar; other pack sizes show their own subscription rate), with free shipping on orders over $65. Subscriptions skip or cancel anytime.
