Balisto snack bar

Balisto is a whole-grain digestive biscuit snack bar topped with various ingredients and coated in milk chocolate. Originally launched by Mars, Inc. in West Germany in 1981, it was marketed as a healthier snack alternative due to its high cereal content and inclusion of fruit or nuts.

The brand has remained a staple in European markets, particularly in France, Germany, and the Benelux region. Most Balisto bars are manufactured in Viersen, Germany, which serves as a major production hub for Mars' biscuit and confectionery lines in Europe. The brand is part of the extensive portfolio of Mars, Incorporated, a family-owned multinational giant based in the United States.
