Summary

This product contains nutrient-rich peanuts, which are a good source of protein and healthy fats. However, the use of vegetable oils such as sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids, can promote inflammation and detract from the overall nutritional quality. The processing level of the product also limits its score potential, as it is not minimally processed.
