THE PACK FLIP TEST

Your protein bar has two stories. Read the one on the back.

The front promises protein, energy and health. The ingredients and nutrition panel tell you what's actually inside. Here's what to look for.

01 — THE REVEAL

The front sells the dream. The back shows the reality.

Flip this fictional bar to see why reading the full label matters.

BECOME A PACK FLIPPER

Good marketing can make junk sound like a health food.

High protein. Low sugar. Natural ingredients. They're useful claims, but they don't tell you the whole story.

Now check what went into it.

Tap or click the pack to flip it.

Illustrative example only, not a label from an actual competing brand. Assess real products using their own full ingredient list and nutrition panel.

02 — THE PACK FLIP TEST

Three things to check. Every time.

You don't need to know every ingredient by heart. You just need to know where to look.

01

Start with the ingredients

In Australia, ingredients are generally listed from highest to lowest by ingoing weight. Focus on the first few to understand how a food is made. Look for real food ingredients.

Avoid ingredients you don't recognise, especially numbers.
02

Check the nutrition panel

Look at protein, sugar and serving size. The per 100g figure is the percentage (e.g. 30g sugar per 100g is 30% sugar). Is the serving size realistic or are you likely to eat a lot more?

A good serve of protein helps fill you up. Try to limit high sugar foods (>15% sugar).
03

Decide what matters

Simple, quality ingredients. No junk you don't recognise. A good source of protein. Not too high in sugar. Choose the products that match your priorities.

Choose consciously, not just from the front claim.

GOOD QUESTIONS

A little more clarity.

Does high protein automatically mean a better snack?

Not necessarily. Check the protein amount alongside the ingredient list, energy, sugar, serving size and your nutritional needs.

Are unfamiliar ingredients necessarily unsafe?

No. A complicated name is not proof that an ingredient is harmful. This test helps you understand the overall product, not judge a single word.

Do all Chief products have the same ingredients?

No. Ingredients, allergens and nutrition vary by product and flavour. Refer to each current product label.

REAL FEELS BETTER

Flip the pack. Taste the pack. Decide for yourself.
