Why is Almonds, Cranberries & Cashews Trek Mix classified in NOVA group 3 and what processing steps lead to this rating?

The blend is made from whole nuts and dried fruit that are roasted, salted and sweetened, with added canola and sunflower oils; these culinary processes transform natural ingredients without creating a fully industrial product, which places it in NOVA group 3 (processed foods).

How do the sugar and salt levels in this snack affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 30 g of sugar per 100 g, the mix can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so diabetics should limit portion size; the salt content is low at 0.12 g per 100 g, posing minimal direct risk for hypertension but overall sodium intake should still be considered.

Are the almonds in this mix a concern for individuals with tree‑nut allergies?

Yes, almonds are a tree nut and can trigger severe allergic reactions in people sensitive to nuts; anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid this product.
