The research by safefood found that of the 39 protein bars surveyed, 38% listed chocolate as their main ingredient, 77% were high in saturated fat with 79% being a source of salt.

As part of research for the report, the food safety and nutrition body looked at the nutritional contents of 83 high-protein snack foods and drinks available for sale on the island of Ireland.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, she said that in recent years there has been a trend toward high protein diets and the perception that these diets lead to weight loss and the building up of muscles. Safefood says that when comparing current protein intakes among adults with what is recommended, both men and women are already consuming more protein than they need from their diet.
