What the Label Data Shows

With 35 ingredients on the label, Breakfast Squares Oatmeal Chocolate Chip is one of the more extensive other combinations supplement formulas from GNC Total Lean in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in bar form. These ingredients span 10 nutrient categories, other, fat, fiber, non-nutrient/non-botanical, and 6 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 35-ingredient formula, 35 of 35 sit outside the FDA's reference-intake system entirely -- common at this scale, since multi-ingredient blends tend to accumulate botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked. That's expected breadth, not a red flag on its own.

A product's market status is worth checking before relying on this label. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2013-09-25. An on-market listing means the product is currently sold in the United States; the DSLD catalogs the label as submitted but does not independently verify the claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
