RONKONKOMA, N.Y. — The Nature’s Bounty Co. earlier this month acquired The Best Bar Ever, a Hunt Valley, Md.-based maker of gluten-free protein bars. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Best Bar Ever bars are available in chocolate peanut butter, peanut butter crunch and cookie dough in two sizes: 40 grams and 65 grams. The bars were designed to contain an ideal blend of quality fats, carbs, and proteins in balanced ratios, the company said.
