Why does Dried Cranberries have a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients drive this rating?

The Nutri‑Score is lowered primarily by the very high added‑sugar content (72.5 g per 100 g) and the absence of protein and fat, which reduces positive points; the product’s low energy (130 kcal) and decent fiber (7.5 g) cannot offset the sugar penalty, resulting in a D grade.

How does the high sugar content in Dried Cranberries affect blood‑glucose control for people with diabetes?

Each 100 g serving provides 72.5 g of sugars, which can cause a rapid rise in blood‑glucose levels; diabetics should treat it as a treat, limit portion size, and consider the total carbohydrate load within their daily allowance.

Is this dried cranberry snack suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The product is vegan and gluten‑free because it contains only cranberries, sugar and sunflower oil, but it is not keto‑friendly due to its very high carbohydrate and sugar content.

Product Insights

Dried Cranberries from Ocean Spray are a plant‑based snack consisting of sweetened cranberries coated with refined sunflower oil and certified kosher with no artificial flavors. They belong to the fruits and vegetables group, carry a Nutri‑Score of D and are classified in the NOVA 3 processing tier, reflecting their high added‑sugar content (72.5 g per 100 g) while remaining fat‑free and a good source of dietary fiber (7.5 g per 100 g). Although the product offers convenient sweetness and fiber, its lack of protein, zero sodium, and very high sugar level make it a less balanced choice for health‑focused diets.
