Summary
The product contains manzanilla olives, which are a beneficial ingredient due to their healthy fats and antioxidants. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of multiple additives such as gelling agents and firming agents, which are used to maintain texture and stability. These additives, along with the processing level, contribute to a lower score despite the presence of healthy olives.
