Balisto Muesli chocolate bar

Balisto is a popular wholemeal biscuit bar brand that combines a crunchy digestive biscuit center with various toppings and a milk chocolate coating. The brand was first introduced in 1981 by Mars, Incorporated in West Germany. Its name is derived from the German word 'Ballaststoffe', which refers to the dietary fiber found in its whole grain ingredients.

Today, Balisto remains a staple in the European snack market, particularly in Germany, France, and the Benelux region. Production is primarily centered at Mars Wrigley facilities in Viersen, Germany, and Haguenau, France. The brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, a global, family-owned American conglomerate headquartered in McLean, Virginia, known for its extensive portfolio in confectionery, pet care, and food products.
