Croissants
Product Insights
Sainsbury's individually wrapped croissants belong to the sugary snacks and pastries group, delivering 429 kcal, 23.7 g fat (12.1 g saturated) and 7.8 g sugars per 100 g. They receive a Nutri‑Score of E and are classified as NOVA 4, reflecting their ultra‑processed nature with five additives, palm oil and several allergens (egg, gluten, milk). While they provide a modest 3.6 g of dietary fiber and 6.7 g of protein, the high saturated fat, moderate salt and lack of fruit or vegetable content limit their suitability for health‑focused diets.
