About LEMON BARS, LEMON
Private Selection Lemon Bars are a premium baked dessert bar from The Kroger Co.'s Private Selection sub-brand, featuring a shortbread-style base topped with a lemon custard layer. The bar base uses enriched wheat flour, sugar, eggs, vegetable shortening from palm and soybean oils, lemon juice concentrate, modified corn starch, baking powder, and margarine made with whey powder from milk, soy lecithin, and annatto for color. The signature topping is a snow sugar dusting made from dextrose, wheat starch, and partially hydrogenated palm oil, which is a notable legacy PHO-containing component despite the reformulation trend away from PHOs. Titanium dioxide is used in the snow sugar for whiteness.
Major allergens include wheat, eggs, dairy (whey powder in the margarine), and soy (lecithin). The partially hydrogenated palm oil in the snow sugar topping deserves flagging for consumers avoiding trans fat-containing ingredients, as it falls into the PHO category subject to FDA restrictions. Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative.
At 343 calories per 100 grams with 5.1 grams of protein, 55.6 grams of carbohydrates, 12.1 grams of fat, and 3 grams of fiber, these bars are moderately calorie-dense as baked fruit bars. The bright lemon flavor and powdered sugar coating are characteristic of classic American lemon bars. The Private Selection positioning suggests improved quality over store-brand baked goods in terms of lemon character and buttery richness. Available at Kroger bakery sections and select deli departments.
