The Zbar Bake Sale Collection Features Two New Flavors and Helps Raise Awareness of KABOOM! Partnership Focusing on Kids' Access to Outdoor Play
Approximately 30 million kids in the United States lack nearby outdoor places to play, inspiring the Zbar brand partnership with KABOOM! EAST HANOVER, N.J., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zbar, the energy snack bar for kids, is kicking off the Spring season with the launch of the Bake Sale Collection, featuring two delicious new flavors: Cinnamon Roll and Cookies 'n Creme. Inspired by home baking, Cinnamon Roll tastes like all the fun that Saturday mornings bring in a bar, while Cookies 'n Creme offers a delicious twist on a family favorite. With a soft-baked texture, Zbar energy snack bars are made for busy, adventure-fueled days—perfect for park outings and snack breaks before sports practice. The Zbar Bake Sale Collection also highlights the brand's partnership with KABOOM!, a nonprofit organization committed to ending playspace inequity. According to a study from the University of Michigan, kids in the U.S. get only 7 minutes of unstructured outdoor play time per day, on average.1 In addition, the Trust for Public Land found that nearly 30 million kids live more than a 10-minute walk from the nearest park.2 As the brand that believes in helping fuel kids to discover their world, Zbar announced a two-year, $1 million partnership with KABOOM! in July 2024 to help build nature-based, sustainable playgrounds for communities nationwide. The initiative supports KABOOM!'s climate-forward playground design by incorporating natural elements like trees and shade structures, and replacing heat-retaining materials with cooler, sustainable alternatives. Together, the Zbar brand and KABOOM! want to create new nature-friendly playgrounds in communities where they're needed most to help give more kids the opportunity to spend time playing outdoors–even as the summer starts to heat up. 'At Zbar, we're committed to crafting quality snacks for kids that help fuel active exploration,' said Valerie Van Arkel, Director of Marketing for Zbar at Mondelēz International. 'The delicious new Cinnamon Roll and Cookies 'n Creme flavors in our Bake Sale Collection deliver the delightful taste kids want for their warm-weather adventures, while highlighting the work we are doing with KABOOM! to help connect more kids to nature and outdoor play.' 'The joy of outdoor play is something that every child needs to experience,' said Lysa Ratliff, Chief Executive Officer of KABOOM!. 'In partnership with Zbar, we will create eight new playgrounds that are nature exploration areas, helping more than 15,000 kids develop lasting memories outdoors. Together, we're making great progress toward our goals of fostering a more sustainable playground industry and helping increase the number of kids who can get outside to play.' Designed to provide parents with fuel their kids will love, Zbar energy snack bars are non-GMO, USDA Organic certified and a good source of fiber with 11g-13g whole grains per bar. Zbar Cinnamon Roll and Cookies 'n Creme flavors are available at all major national retailers in packs of 6 and 12.

Lawsuit says ‘certified climate neutral' snacks are not climate neutral
The blue box for Clif Zbar snack food features a skateboarding child on the front, and on the bottom the words 'certified climate neutral.' But the carefully chosen phrase doesn't guarantee Zbars are climate neutral, the productmaker says in a court case that raises broad questions about the marketing of the consumer product as climate-friendly. A federal lawsuit in Illinois accuses Zbar manufacturer Mondelēz International of Chicago with false and misleading advertising. A California consumer claims she was tricked into paying more for the product because it seemed more climate friendly. Advertisement In reality, the legal claim by Cynthia Salguero argues Zbar products are made and sold in a way that 'results in substantial carbon emissions, other greenhouse gas emissions, and harm to the climate.'
