A chewy situation for fiber

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. —General Mills has extended its Fiber One line with new Fiber One 90 Calorie chewy bars. Each bar contains 5 g of fiber and 2.5 g of fat, so dieters feel full and stick to their diet without compromising taste. The bars are available in two varieties, chocolate and chocolate peanut butter, and have a suggested retail price of $3.59 for a five-count box.

The Institute of Medicine recommended that Americans over the age of 4 years eat at least 25 g of fiber each day. Nine-out-of-10 people don’t meet that nutritional goal. “Fiber One 90 Calorie Chewy bars are an indulgent and uncomplicated way to achieve 20% of the recommended daily value in one snack,” said a General Mills representative.
