MuscleBlaze Protein Bar (Choco Almond) carries grade B+ on Unbox Health's protein bars list. Unbox Health is an Indian consumer-testing platform that buys retail products, has them analysed at up to three NABL-accredited, FSSAI-approved laboratories and publishes a letter grade with sub-scores. For this product the rating went live on 12 Apr 2024 (batch PPBCA0099, bought on Amazon) with an aggregate score of 8.91 out of 10: label accuracy 10, non-toxicity 10 and nutritional profile 7.81.

The pack claims 26.67 g protein, 44.25 g carbs, 18.52 g fat, 5.48 g sugar, 7.31 g saturated fat per 100 g. The laboratory found 26.8 g protein, 6.32 g sugar, 8 g saturated fat per 100 g; aflatoxin not detected; lead 0.15 ppm, arsenic 0.01 ppm, cadmium 0.02 ppm, mercury 0.05 ppm. Unbox attributes the grade to an average nutritional profile score of 7.81 after a 1-point deduction for maltitol, sorbitan monostearate, soy lecithin, glycerine, cellulose gum and sodium ascorbate; label accuracy was a full 10 and every toxicity check passed. B+ is the second-lowest grade on Unbox's protein bar list. Unbox marks this rating as previously rated because the 12-month rating expired on 12 Apr 2025.

Unbox grades are independent consumer-testing results and are not regulatory findings. No FSSAI action on this product is on record.

What this means for you

A grade, not a fail

Unbox Health buys products from the open market, has them tested at NABL-accredited laboratories and scores label accuracy, toxicity and nutritional profile on its own scale from D to A+. A low grade is a ranking on that scale, not a finding of violation.

What pulled the grade down

Unbox's page attributes the grade to an average nutritional profile score of 7.81 after a 1-point deduction for maltitol, sorbitan monostearate, soy lecithin, glycerine, cellulose gum and sodium ascorbate; label accuracy was a full 10 and every toxicity check passed.

Ratings expire after 12 months

Unbox marks a rating as previously rated once its 12-month validity lapses. The numbers describe the batch tested at the time, not the product on the shelf today.
