HONEY PEANUT BUTTER BLEND
Summary
This honey peanut butter blend contains beneficial ingredients like dry roasted peanuts, which are a good source of protein and healthy fats. However, the presence of palm fruit oil, which is high in saturated fats and has environmental concerns, slightly detracts from its health profile. The product is moderately processed, but the ingredient list is relatively short and free from artificial additives, which helps maintain a reasonable score.
