Roasted Peanuts
Analysis updated July 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
The roasted peanuts contain beneficial nutrients such as protein and healthy fats from the peanuts themselves. However, the use of canola oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, introduces concerns due to its potential to promote inflammation and its highly processed nature. The product's processing level further limits its score, as it is not minimally processed.
