Which specific nutrients cause Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to receive a Nutri‑Score of E?

The Nutri‑Score is driven down by its very high total fat (≈93 g/100 ml) and especially saturated fat (≈80 g/100 ml), which also give it a high energy value (~800 kcal); the product provides no fiber, protein or fruit/vegetable content to earn positive points.

Is coconut oil a common allergen, and should people with coconut allergy avoid this product?

Yes, coconut is listed as a tree‑nut related allergen for some individuals, so anyone with a known coconut allergy should avoid consuming this oil.

Can Organic Virgin Coconut Oil be used in vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Absolutely; the oil is 100 % plant‑based, contains no animal ingredients or gluten, and its high‑fat, zero‑carb profile fits well with keto and vegan dietary patterns.
