Review of 'Taste of Nature' Organic Snack Bar (Niagara Apple Country)

Taste of Nature -- Organic Snack Bar (Niagara Apple Country) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: strangely, it had a stale taste before the expiry date even though I stored it in the fridge. How unfortunate. It would have been a good bar, otherwise. There was a slight cinnamon flavour and perfect chewiness. The nutritional profile is good and the ingredients are great, so I'm tempted to try this again and hope that I don't get a stale one!

Where to buy: Shopper's Drug Mart, Fortinos, Bulk Barn, Costco, Highland Farms, Metro, Wal-Mart, Wanigan
