Summary

This product consists of dried figs, which are a nutritious source of dietary fiber and essential nutrients, but the addition of potassium sorbate as a preservative indicates a moderate level of processing. While the figs themselves are beneficial, the use of a synthetic preservative slightly detracts from the overall healthiness of the product. The processing level limits the potential score, despite the natural benefits of the primary ingredient.

Potassium sorbate
Bad
