I recently had the opportunity to try the new Luna Bars and while they were good I wondered about the change in the vitamin and mineral content, specifically folacin.

The information on the website only mentioned less sugar, more fibre so I emailed them to get more information......

Hi,

Thanks for sending the scanned image of the wrapper. I have spoken with someone in the kitchen and will do my best to explain why there is a difference. The information I emailed you below is for the Luna formulation in the U.S., which is the same information posted on our website. Luna bars were registered in Canada as a drug, which allowed us to use the same vitamin and mineral formula that we used in the U.S. That has changed and now all energy bars are in a nutritional supplement category which has defined parameters which do not allow us to have the same amount of folic acid as before. This is why you are now seeing Luna Bars with .1mg of folic acid.
I apologize for any confusion I may have caused, and if you still have any questions please contact me at jhantman@clifbar.com.
Take care,
Jeff - CS

So if you are in Canada please look at the breakdown on the label for the content not the website. If you compare the old and the new it is not only the folacin level that has changed.
