Must Love Bananas Allergen Note*
I asked Must Love about allergen protocols, and they sent the following response:
We are managed on equipment that sometimes processes milk, wheat, tree nuts, eggs, soy, corn, and peanuts, so if your audience has severe allergies, it would be safer for them to not consume our product.
But when I specifically asked again about their cleaning processes, they responded:
Our plant has a strict policy of thoroughly washing before and after each production run of our products!

Disappointed in the Must Love Banana Dipped Bars
All I can say is the product was impressive on Shark Tank and they got Sharks to invest but after traveling all over from Walmart to Publix and Sprouts, finally found this product at Winn Dixie in the Organic Freezer thanks to the Cashier Manager, Could not wait to try this so called incredible bar and as I opened it and was happy to see it was chocolate coated took a bite and it was so so disappointing with lack of banana taste. As the commercial for Wendy’s Where’s the Beef? Where is the Bananas? I would not be going out of my way for this product and wasted gas to find it.
Delicious
Love love love the dipped vanilla! Wish I could find the dipped chocolate.
complaint
they was no bananas in my pint tasted plain both containers
SOOOO GOOD!
Been buying this since it was Hakuna Banana. The new taste and look is so far superior to the old product. Feels good to be able to give my kids something healthy and still delicious.
Disappointed
Very disappointed with the newer bars. I’ve been purchasing the Chocolate for some time and they were decadent, satisfying, and delicious. The new Chocolate and Strawberry are NOT…..Worth the price!
