Recently, I have written about different kinds of nut bars and all of a sudden more are showing up at my door step. This week You Bar Honey Cashew arrived in my mail box and I thought I would give it a review. The skin color bar was soft on the outside and had plenty of nuts in the bar. I thought the bar was pretty dry and the honey was not really existent, which was disappointing.
The nutritional facts were clearly listed on the bar. Based on serving, which is the whole bar it has: 13g of fat, 10g of protein, 18g of carbohydrates including 7g of sugars.
The consumer information was good. They listed a website, expiration date, snail mail address, 1-800 number and allergic warning. This is exactly what we are searching for and all the information was in one place, which is great.
Overall, I give You Bar Honey Cashew a 350 DFC. I was not a fan of a bar that is dryer then the desert and flakes as soon as you touch the bar. The nutritional information was alright and clearly labeled. The consumer information was done very well and easy for the consumer to read. Clearly, the taste is where they lost their points.

Ken Help Out The DFC
Happy Fathers to all the fathers who readers of the DFC! Each week I am trying to improve my diet and have successfully moved to mostly salads for dinner. One salad I do enjoy is chicken Caesar salad, which of course has to have a good dressing. Therefore, we are reviewing Ken’s Lite Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing. The dressing was very creamy. I enjoyed the hit of cheese in the dressing as well as, the minor taste of lemon or acid taste.
The nutritional information was clearly marked on the back of the bottle. Based on 2 tablespoons, the dress has: 8g of fat, 1g of protein, 4g of carbohydrates including 1g of sugar.
The consumer information was certainly up to par. Kens included a website, snail mail address, 1-800 number including the hours of operation, and expiration date. Minor suggestion, I would put the expiration date with all of the other useful information so the consumer just has to look at one place. However, I was pleased with the overall consumer labeling job.
Overall, I give Kens Lite Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing a 150 DFC. I thought the dressing tasted great. I was pleased with the low carbohydrates and sugars. Also, the consumer information was exactly what we seek. I am glad I am eating healthier and happy to be using this great dressing.
