ON-THE-GO OVEN ROASTED ALMONDS, SEA SALT
Summary
The product contains almonds, which are a nutrient-dense food rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, the presence of corn maltodextrin, a highly processed carbohydrate, and the overall high level of processing significantly impact its healthiness. The use of sea salt is neutral, but the ultra-processed nature of the product limits its score despite the beneficial aspects of almonds.
