Summary

This product is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score despite having some beneficial ingredients like expeller-pressed organic oils and tocopherols. The presence of sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier adds to the processing level, and while it is a better alternative to soy lecithin, it still contributes to the overall processing score. The use of organic ingredients and healthier fats is positive, but the processing level remains a significant factor in the rating.
