The Glukos Co., Inc.
The Glukos Co., Inc. is launching a line of protein bars made with glucose instead of maltodextrin or sucralose. The bars, made with whey protein isolate, contain no sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors. Available in chocolate peanut butter, Cookies N’ Crème and Rocky Road varieties, Glukos protein bars feature 15 grams of protein and 200 calories.
“Knowing the protein market is saturated with ambiguous claims and unrecognizable ingredients, we had to provide consumers with a clear differentiator and believe glucose provides us with the edge,” said Mick McCormick, president and chief executive officer of Glukos. “The utilization of glucose in our new protein is an absolute game changer, but, just as important, our bars and powders taste better than any protein on the market.”
