Search for vegan protein bars with a Nutri-Score of A.

I found several options! For instance, 'Misfits Vegan Protein Bar' often scores well. Another high-ranking product is 'Trek High Protein Flapjack' which features a good Nutri-Score due to its balance of fiber and plant protein.

A standard can of Coca-Cola is classified under NOVA Group 4, which means it is an ultra-processed food product. It also holds a Nutri-Score of E due to its high sugar content.
