Why does Fruit & Nut Mix have a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients drive this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D reflects the product’s high energy (532 kcal), high total fat (33 g) and high sugars (29.6 g) per 100 g, which outweigh the modest amounts of fiber and protein; these negative points dominate the score.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Fruit & Nut Mix affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 29.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the mix can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics, while the very low salt (0.03 g) poses little risk for hypertension, though the overall calorie density should be watched.

Is the sulphur dioxide (E220) preservative used in this mix a concern for people with asthma or sulfite sensitivity?

Sulphur dioxide (E220) is added as a preservative to keep the dried fruit fresh, but it can trigger asthma attacks or allergic reactions in people sensitive to sulfites, so such individuals should avoid it.
