I have read conflicting information concerning RX Bars and just wanted to find out the real answer. I have read the ones without peanuts in them are approved is this correct?

Tarrantrl

The brand RXBar has some compliant flavors and some that are not compliant. It depends on the flavor. Some of them have chocolate, so those are out. Read the label and make sure there are no noncompliant ingredients. I always read the label on anything I buy even if the brand is whole30 approved for this very reason!
