Summary

The product contains nutrient-rich pepitas, which are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals. However, the use of vegetable oils such as peanut, cottonseed, soybean, and sunflower oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from its nutritional quality due to their potential to promote inflammation. The processing level of the product further limits its score potential, as it is not minimally processed.
