FAQs
Where and why do we use fractionated palm kernel oil?
Some POWERBAR bars are coated or dipped in a yogurt or chocolaty coating. We believe that these coatings make our bars more delicious and provide our consumers with a greater variety of healthy, convenient snacks to choose from. 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 even slightly warm temperatures and is also more prone to rancidity which can lead to undesirable flavor changes.
How long will my POWERBAR HARVEST bars last?
Each POWERBAR HARVEST bar is stamped with a “best by” date. Although it is safe to eat POWERBAR HARVEST after this date, we recommend that you use the bar by the “best by” date to ensure you’re getting the full nutritional benefits of the product.
How should I store my POWERBAR HARVEST bars?
Store POWERBAR HARVEST bars in a cool, dry place, between 40 degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. POWERBAR HARVEST bars do not need to be refrigerated. However, storing a Harvest bar in areas where the temperature exceeds 80 degrees for an extended period of time will result in significant changes to the taste, texture, color, and coating of the product.
STORAGE TIPS
Will POWERBAR HARVEST bars freeze?
With its open texture, POWERBAR HARVEST bar can be consumed in cold weather conditions. However, most food products do harden in freezing temperatures. Try softening the bar by warming it next to your body for a few minutes.
Do POWERBAR products contain Genetically Modified Ingredients?
POWERBAR uses ingredients that meet our high quality standards and are in full compliance with U.S. government regulations. Genetically modified (GM) crops grown in the US have been reviewed extensively by the FDA, USDA and EPA, who have determined that GM crops are as safe as their conventional counterparts. Because the use of GM crops does not affect the safety or quality of the ingredients made from them, we do not require that our suppliers specify the origin of the crops they use.
What is fractionated palm kernel oil?
Fractionated palm kernel oil is made by heating palm kernel oil and removing the liquid portion (or "fraction") as it is cooled. This fractionation process creates a solid fat made up primarily of saturated fats with desirable properties from the standpoint of food manufacture.
Fractionation vs. Hydrogenation
Fractionation is different from the process of hydrogenation, which chemically alters oils. In this process, 'trans fats' are also created. Partially hydrogenated oils are solid and stable at room temperature and found in many current snack foods. However, the National Academy of Sciences has recently recommended that Americans consume as little trans fat as possible within a healthy diet. Although a heart-healthy diet should seek to limit both saturated and trans fats, current guidelines allow up to 10% of daily calories from saturated fat while there is no recommendation yet set for trans fat. This follows scientific evidence showing consumption of trans fat-containing foods increases LDL, or bad, cholesterol, and decreases HDL, or good, cholesterol, thereby increasing risk for heat disease.
