Artisan Nut Thins
Summary
Artisan Nut Thins contain a variety of whole grains and seeds, such as almonds, flax seeds, and quinoa, which are minimally processed and provide nutritional benefits. However, the presence of safflower oil, a highly processed seed oil, and natural flavors, which lack transparency, detract from the overall healthiness of the product. The processing level also limits the score, as it is a processed food with some additives.
