Summary

This product contains peanuts, which are a good source of protein and healthy fats. However, the use of cottonseed oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential to promote inflammation. The processing level of the product also limits its score potential, as it is not a minimally processed whole food.
