Cake bars, not chocolate

Non-chocolate cake bars are baked cereal-based products, including golden syrup, ginger and fruit-flavoured bars. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat. Per 100g, the sampled products contain 62g of carbohydrate, including 42g of sugars, and 12g of fat, including 5g of saturated fat. These figures describe the sampled products rather than every brand.

Carbohydrate and fat both provide energy. These bars contain little fibre, which helps support normal bowel function. Their sugar and saturated fat contents are worth noting for people monitoring these nutrients or their overall energy intake. Product labels can help identify differences between bars. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 4 products, including golden syrup, ginger, fruit flavoured bars). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Direct Laboratories, Nutrient analysis catch up project, 2003.
