I'm one of the brothers who created Soldier Fuel, and this entry has mistakes.

[edit]

First of all, thanks to those who added accurate info. It's appreciated.

But some of the key data is wrong, and here are some corrections:

This opening paragraph is inaccurate: "The Soldier Fuel bar,[1] formerly known as Hooah! bar, is a dairy-based calcium-enriched energy bar created by the United States military in 1996. It was originally provided to military personnel packaged within a field ration, such as the Meal, Ready-to-Eat, Meal Cold Weather, or First Strike Ration.[2] - the Soldier Fuel® bar is not dairy-based. There is no whey in Soldier Fuel®. - it's also not calcium-enriched. - it is not formerly known as the HOOAH! bar. It is an upgrade from the former HOOAH! bar and an entirely new bar.

Here is the truth: The Soldier Fuel® energy bar is a high-performance, plant-protein-based energy bar designed for U.S. Special Operations units and developed in 2004-2008 by a team of brothers, whose company is called D'Andrea Brothers LLC. In 2007, the Soldier Fuel® bar won an Army-conducted field test with Soldiers, beating ClifBar® and ProBar® in the combined categories of performance and overall acceptability. Soldier Fuel® energy bars are featured in the U.S. Special Operations Forces Nutrition Guide, and now the bar consistently ranks within the top 30 best-selling energy bars on Amazon. Soldier Fuel® currently has a 4.6-star average rating on Amazon, and it is also Amazon's Choice for "steady energy" across all brands. In 2016, Soldier Fuel® was featured on the TV show "Incredible Inventions," which called Soldier Fuel® "perfect for the military, outdoorsmen, and survivalists."

D'Andrea Brothers LLC became the Army's Cooperative Research And Development (CRADA) partner in 2004 in order to improve the quality of energy bars being fed to the troops. Specifically, D'Andrea Brothers LLC set out to remove trans fat from the Army's troubled HOOAH! energy bar (trans fat causes coronary heart disease). D'Andrea Brothers LLC succeeded in developing an all-natural energy bar that has three years of shelf life, without using trans fat. At first, D'Andrea Brothers LLC called their improved energy bar "the new HOOAH! bar." But they changed the name to Soldier Fuel®, which is a brand they created and a registered trademark they have owned since 2008.

Soldier Fuel®'s flavor comes from real unsweetened chocolate. Soldier Fuel® features a 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, which is "the ideal ratio of carbohydrate to protein," according to Edmund Burke, PhD, author of "Optimal Muscle Performance and Recovery." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.10.25 (talk) 18:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
