Why does grated coconut receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D results from the product’s very high total fat (64.5 g) and saturated‑fat (57.2 g) content, which generate many negative points, while the modest sugar level and the lack of additional positive nutrients such as protein keep the positive points low.

How might the fat and saturated‑fat content of grated coconut affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

Although the sugar level is low and therefore friendly to blood‑glucose control, the high saturated‑fat amount can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, so it should be used sparingly in heart‑healthy or weight‑management plans.

Is grated coconut safe for individuals with coconut or nut allergies, and does it contain any other common allergens?

The product is 100 % grated coconut, but the label warns of possible cross‑contamination with peanuts and other tree nuts, so anyone allergic to coconut, peanuts, or related nuts should avoid it.
