Cite Solutions Research

Slurrp Farm appeared 6.7% more often in healthy snacking & breakfast answers on 25 May 2026 than the day before.

The move

The Whole Truth held the lead, named in 34.0% of healthy snacking & breakfast answers, ahead of Yoga Bar at 31.3%.

The engines split: ChatGPT led with The Whole Truth, Gemini with The Whole Truth, and Google AI Mode with Yoga Bar.

The biggest single-day move was Slurrp Farm, appearing 6.7% more often than the day before.

What it means

No brand has crystallized healthy snacking & breakfast in AI answers yet.

A leader under 50% citation share means the engines are still spreading recommendations across a wide field, and a single strong day can reorder the top three.

The engines disagreeing on the leader means a buyer asking ChatGPT versus Google AI Mode for healthy snacking & breakfast gets a different first recommendation, which is the clearest sign the category is still being decided.

New domains entered the citation pool on this day, including aboutamazon.in and acalise.com, a signal that the engines are widening the evidence set they pull from for healthy snacking & breakfast.
