Maltitol is considered a safe food grade ingredient approved for use in Canada. However, some people may experience mild, temporary gastrointestinal symptoms. POWERBAR TRIPLE THREAT bars include Maltitol syrup as a functional ingredient to help provide a soft texture to the bars.

Fractionated palm kernel oil is listed as an ingredient on the bars. Why?
All POWERBAR TRIPLE THREAT bars are coated or dipped in a chocolatey coating, which makes our bars more delicious. The coatings contain fractionated palm kernel oil, which is solid and stable at room temperature. Regular vegetable oil would cause the coatings to melt at warm temperatures, and it’s easier to spoil, leading to undesirable flavour changes.
