Raisins
Summary
This product is primarily composed of raisins, which are a natural source of sugars and nutrients. However, the inclusion of vegetable oils, which are often high in omega-6 fatty acids and extracted through industrial processes, reduces its overall healthiness. The processing level and presence of these oils necessitate a moderate penalty, preventing a higher score.
