Summary

This product contains cashews, which are nutrient-dense and beneficial for heart health. However, the use of vegetable oils such as peanut, cottonseed, soybean, and sunflower, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids and often highly processed, detracts from its overall healthfulness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of healthy nuts.
