Summary

This product is ultra-processed, which limits its score potential despite containing peanuts, a good source of protein and healthy fats. The presence of added sugar and natural flavors, which lack transparency, further detracts from its nutritional quality. While the product does not contain seed oils, the processing level and inclusion of additives like maltodextrin and dried corn syrup contribute to a lower score.
