Summary

Dried Mission Figs are a processed food with a simple ingredient list, primarily consisting of dried figs, which are a natural source of fiber and nutrients. However, the presence of potassium sorbate as a preservative introduces a level of processing that detracts from the overall healthiness of the product. While the figs themselves are beneficial, the use of a synthetic preservative limits the score due to its potential for causing allergic reactions and being unnecessary in whole foods.
