Millions of consumers rely on nutrition labels to make informed decisions about their health. For athletes, parents, people managing medical conditions, and anyone tracking calories or fat intake, those numbers aren’t just marketing — they matter.

David protein bars have built a loyal following by advertising 150 calories and low fat with high protein. But a recently filed class-action lawsuit alleges that independent lab testing found significantly higher calorie and fat counts than what appears on the label. David has publicly denied these claims and stated that its labeling complies with FDA standards, citing differences in how calories are measured.

The lawsuit is still unresolved. But the controversy itself raises an important issue: consumers deserve clarity.

When there is public confusion about how calories are calculated — whether through traditional methods like the Atwater system or alternative ingredient-based calculations — the burden should not fall on customers to decode complex food science. Shoppers should not need a degree in chemistry to understand what they are eating.

We call on David Protein to:

• Commission and publicly release results from independent, third-party laboratory testing across all flavors
• Clearly explain, in plain language, how calories and fat are calculated on its labels
• Update packaging as needed to ensure consumers receive transparent, accurate, and easy-to-understand nutritional information

Transparency strengthens brands. Independent verification protects customers. Clear labeling supports informed choice.

If David Protein stands behind its products, now is the moment to lead the industry by embracing full transparency and independent review.

Consumers deserve clarity. Sign this petition to call for open books, independent testing, and labeling that everyone can trust.
