Atkins Bars & Soy
I am allergic to soy. It causes a rash on my face along the jaw bone. Last week I had the rash and the area around my eyes felt stretched. Just couldn't figure out what it was. I had eaten Yoplait Greek yogurt once a day for about a week so I thought it must have soy. I emailed Atkins because I was eating their bars. They finally responded to me almost a week later.
Their message said Atkins utilizes soy for protein and they are in the process or converting all products (bars, shakes, candies and meals over to soy based. So, there is the answer.
Another good reason to quit relying of protein bars.

yeah, I think most of the bars rely on soy. I have a friend whose son is allergic to soy and it is in EVERYTHING. Even canned spinach??? I know, who would eat canned spinach but it was in that too. You really have to be careful if you have a soy allergy. Glad you figured it out.

most of the soybeans in the US are GMO's also. Not to mention that soy products disrupt hormone levels in men and women.
