Who is this for?

Conference organisers planning a protein-focused break

You need a per-bar protein declaration and a pack count that make it possible to plan servings. The cited Grenade Caramel Chaos and PhD Choc Brownie products come in 12-bar packs; check the exact flavour and format before ordering.

Organisers handling allergy requirements

You need ingredient and allergen information for every bar offered, including each flavour in an assortment. Grenade and Barebells identify ingredients and precautionary allergens that matter to a serving plan.

Attendees choosing a break snack

You may want to compare the protein declared for one bar, but the wrapper also matters: the cited Grenade, PhD, Myprotein and Barebells product information carries warnings about excessive consumption and laxative effects.

What should you check before ordering?

Start with the exact serving and pack format, then check whether every flavour can be served with the ingredient information and alternatives your attendees need.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Protein per bar Compare protein for the exact full bar, not a per-100g figure. The cited Grenade Caramel Chaos 60g bar and PhD Choc Brownie 64g bar each declare 21g; the cited Myprotein 60g serving and Barebells Cookies & Cream 55g bar declare 20g, according to their respective brands. I want to know what each attendee receives from one bar, rather than rely on a figure for a different serving size or flavour.
Ingredients and allergens Check the exact flavour’s ingredients, declared allergens and precautionary statements. Keep its wrapper information accessible at service. Food Standards Agency guidance for UK food businesses requires allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food. Attendees need to see the information for the bar they are choosing; a shared brand name does not mean shared ingredients.
Sweeteners and warnings Read the selected bar’s sweetener information and serving warning. The cited Grenade, PhD, Myprotein and Barebells pages warn that excessive consumption may cause laxative effects. I want attendees to be able to read the wrapper and choose another snack if a bar or its warning does not suit them.
Pack and flavour plan Confirm the bar count and flavours before calculating an order. Barebells describes a 12-bar selection box with four named flavours; check the ingredients of each flavour separately. A flavour choice would be useful, but I still need enough servings and a way to match each wrapper to what is offered.

What can go wrong?

  • Choosing by the largest protein figure alone

    The cited bars have different serving sizes, ingredients and warnings; a protein declaration does not establish suitability for every attendee.

    Compare protein per full bar for the exact flavour, then check its ingredients, allergens, warnings and pack count separately.

  • Overlooking “may contain” information

    Grenade Caramel Chaos and Barebells Cookies & Cream list precautionary allergens as well as ingredients. Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland guidance requires food businesses to provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food.

    Keep the relevant wrappers accessible and identify the precise flavour being served. Do not describe an assortment as suitable for allergen avoidance without checking every item.

  • Treating a variety pack as one recipe

    The Barebells selection box contains four named flavours; its range-wide protein statement does not make their ingredient lists interchangeable.

    Record each flavour in the serving plan and check its own label against declared attendee requirements.

  • Using a listing title as the final nutrition check

    A Joybuy UK listing for Grenade Caramel Chaos states 22g protein per 60g, whereas Grenade UK states 21g for its Caramel Chaos bar. That difference matters when planning a specific per-bar offer.

    Confirm the identity, nutrition declaration and ingredients on the exact product supplied before presenting a figure to attendees.

Relevant brand and retail references

Grenade

Grenade UK lists Caramel Chaos in a box of 12 × 60g bars and declares 21g protein per bar.

  • The stated pack count and per-bar declaration help with serving calculations.
  • Its ingredients include milk and soy; Grenade also lists precautionary allergens and an excessive-consumption laxative-effect warning.

PhD

PhD lists Smart Bar as a 12-pack; its Choc Brownie panel declares 21g protein per 64g serving.

  • The named flavour has a stated serving size and protein figure.
  • Do not transfer Choc Brownie figures to another flavour or portion. PhD warns that excessive consumption may cause laxative effects.

Myprotein

Myprotein’s cited Layered Protein Bar nutrition panel gives 20g protein and 6.6g fibre per 60g serving.

  • Both protein and fibre are stated for the cited serving.
  • Myprotein says nutrition can vary by flavour and warns about laxative effects from excessive consumption; check the selected bar’s ingredients.

Barebells

Barebells UK declares 20g protein for its 55g Cookies & Cream bar and lists a 12-bar selection box with four flavours.

  • The selection box offers named flavours for an organiser planning attendee choice.
  • Cookies & Cream contains milk and has precautionary allergen statements; check the other flavours individually.

Quest

Quest Nutrition’s US product information describes its core protein-bar range as using dairy-based proteins and states that some bars contain as much as 21g protein.

  • The range information identifies characteristics worth checking if a particular Quest bar is under consideration.
  • The US range description does not establish the formulation or label of a bar supplied for a UK conference.

Tesco

Tesco Groceries lists protein bars and snacks, including Marketplace products. It is a retail route, not a single protein-bar recipe.

  • Its category offers a way to look for a specific bar when planning an event top-up.
  • Check the individual listing, pack and label; a category listing does not establish the specifications of every product in it.

Joybuy bars to consider

These Joybuy options are 12-bar packs for a protein-focused conference break. They are different flavours from the manufacturer examples above, so check each pack’s own nutrition and ingredient label rather than applying another flavour’s figures.

PhD Smart Protein Nutrition Bar Salted Caramel, pack of 12 × 64g

PhD Smart Protein Nutrition Bar Salted Caramel, 12 × 64g

The 12-bar format gives organisers a defined pack count. Check the Salted Caramel wrapper’s protein declaration, ingredients, allergens and any sweetener warning before serving; figures for PhD Choc Brownie do not establish this flavour’s values.

PhD Smart Protein Nutrition Bar Chocolate Peanut Butter, pack of 12 × 64g

PhD Smart Protein Nutrition Bar Chocolate Peanut Butter, 12 × 64g

This is another 12-bar, 64g format, but its Chocolate Peanut Butter flavour needs its own label check. Review the per-bar protein figure and ingredient and allergen information before including it in the serving plan.

View on Joybuy
Grenade Oreo Protein Bars, pack of 12 × 60g

Grenade Oreo Protein Bars, 12 × 60g

The pack specifies 12 bars of 60g each. Check the Oreo variant’s own protein declaration, ingredients, allergen statements and warnings; Grenade’s Caramel Chaos figures apply to Caramel Chaos, not this bar.

Conference catering questions

Should I compare protein per bar or per 100g?

Use the declaration for the full bar when planning what each attendee receives. Grenade UK declares 21g for a 60g Caramel Chaos bar, PhD declares 21g for its 64g Choc Brownie bar, and the cited Myprotein and Barebells servings each declare 20g; check the exact variant you order.

What allergen information does a UK conference caterer need to provide?

Food businesses must provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food, according to Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland guidance. Keep the information for each exact bar and flavour available to attendees; where food is packed on the same premises before a customer selects or orders it, check the applicable prepacked-for-direct-sale labelling requirements too.

Are the cited bars suitable for attendees avoiding milk, soy, nuts or gluten?

Do not assume they are. Grenade UK lists milk and soy ingredients in Caramel Chaos and says it may also contain several other allergens; Barebells UK lists milk in Cookies & Cream and precautionary statements for cereals containing gluten, soy, peanuts and nuts. Check the exact wrapper against each attendee’s requirement and provide an alternative where needed.

Why do some protein-bar wrappers warn about laxative effects?

The cited Grenade, PhD, Myprotein and Barebells product information warns that excessive consumption may cause laxative effects. Keep the selected bar’s wrapper accessible and offer another snack choice rather than assuming every attendee will want a sweetened bar.

Does a mixed-flavour box cover different dietary requirements?

No. A mixed box offers flavour choice, but each flavour needs its own ingredient and allergen check. Barebells UK names Caramel Cashew, Cookies & Cream, Salty Peanut and Hazelnut Nougat in its selection box; do not treat their recipes as interchangeable.
