Summary
This product consists mainly of Australian currants with a small amount of sunflower oil, which is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids and can promote inflammation if consumed excessively. The high sugar content from the currants contributes to its processed nature, and the presence of sunflower oil further impacts its healthiness. Despite being a dried fruit, the processing level and inclusion of a seed oil limit its overall score.
