Why does this sesame tahini achieve a Nutri‑Score of A despite its high fat content?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm rewards high protein (26 g) and fiber (10.3 g) while penalising sugars, salt and saturated fat; the very low sugar and salt levels and the substantial protein and fiber offset the high total fat, giving the product an overall A rating.

Is this sesame tahini suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and keto diets?

Yes. The product is made exclusively from sesame paste, contains no animal ingredients or gluten, and provides almost no carbohydrates, making it compatible with vegan, gluten‑free and ketogenic eating plans, though its high fat content should be considered within daily macro goals.

Is the sesame in this product a concern for people with sesame allergy?

Absolutely. Sesame is listed as an allergen on the label; even though the seeds are peeled, they can still trigger allergic reactions, so individuals with a sesame allergy should avoid this tahini.
