Canadian snack brand MadeGood has launched a new range of granola snack bars in the UK that are free from the most common allergens.
The vegan and organic line is free from gluten, nuts, peanuts, egg, dairy and soy, and is said to be good source of vitamins from six different vegetables.
Three flavours have initially gone on sale in Asda stores: mixed berry, chocolate chip, and chocolate and banana.
Pure sunflower oil is used so that the bars are low in saturated fat. According to MadeGood, the bars are a “great source of fibre, vitamins and minerals, which can help contribute to a healthy digestive and immune system”.
Andy Van Ham, managing director at Riverside International, said: “The number of children in the UK with a food allergy or sensitivity is significant and is on the rise. Despite best efforts by schools, there is always an underlying concern from parents that their kids may eat something that could cause them harm, either in their own lunchbox or when sharing food with friends.
“MadeGood offers a great solution – not just to those who suffer from an allergy or sensitivity, but to all school children whose parents are looking for a healthy, tasty and nutritious snack bar for their lunch boxes.”
Each box contains six 24g bars and retails for £2.79.
