Overview
We keep Grenade Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Protein Bars, 12 on our food cupboard shelf alongside 46 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: Each bar is packed with over 20g of protein and contains just 1.4g of sugar. Each triple-layered bar consists of a soft protein nougat, topped with a tasty salted caramel layer and coated in smooth milk chocolate with chocolate chips. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. On Amazon it sits at 4.6 out of 5 across 4,015 ratings. How that compares with the rest of the shelf is below.

How it compares on the food cupboard shelf
We track 47 rated food cupboard products, and the middle of that pack scores 4.7 out of 5. This one is on 4.6. Bottom quarter of the shelf. Not a red flag by itself, but similar money buys a better-rated option here, so the case for this one has to come from somewhere else.
4,015 people rated it, where the shelf median is 2,954. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.
The shelf runs from £1.00 to £29.69 and the midpoint is about £3.25. On price, this one is in the top third. Paying above the middle of the shelf needs a reason the star rating does not supply, because on ratings alone the extra money is not buying an advantage here.
Worked out from the 47 food cupboard products we track, not from the brand's own claims.
