Find the figure rather than guessing

Look for fibre in the nutrition information. Do not estimate the amount from words such as oat, nut or fruit in a flavour name. The proportions and other ingredients affect the finished recipe.

If the figure is not supplied, ask the brand when it matters to your decision. An omitted number is not evidence that the amount is either zero or high.

Use the portion you will eat

Compare fibre per bar when deciding what a snack contributes. Use per 100g to compare recipes of different sizes. A larger bar can supply more fibre simply because you are eating more food.

For a hypothetical example, 4g fibre in a 50g bar equals 8g per 100g. A 25g serving of the same recipe would supply 2g. Keep the units beside your notes so you do not mix the two comparisons.

Look at the rest of the day

The NHS gives a general adult guideline of 30g fibre a day and encourages a variety of sources. That is a daily reference, not a target for a single snack. Foods such as wholegrains, beans, fruit and vegetables can contribute across meals.

A bar is therefore only one possible part of the picture. If you are following a medical diet or have ongoing digestive symptoms, seek advice suited to your circumstances rather than changing your diet around one label.

Balance the information with the experience

Consider ingredients, taste, portion size and price alongside fibre. Do not assume that the highest figure creates the best snack for every occasion. The food still needs to fit your preferences and routine.

Henry does not currently list a fibre figure on its comparison table. We do not infer one from the almond butter or dates. Use confirmed product information whenever you want to make a specific nutritional comparison.
