Question 1

Why is Bénénuts Dry‑roasted salted cashew nuts classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

Accepted Answer

Because the formulation includes a processed flavor base and a stabiliser, the snack contains industrial ingredients such as rice flour, starch, yeast extract, caramelised sugar, dextrose, natural flavour, paprika and turmeric extracts, as well as the listed additives E100 (turmeric), E160c (paprika) and E414 (acacia gum), which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

Question 2

How does the sugar and salt content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Accepted Answer

The snack provides 7.7 g of sugars per 100 g, which can raise blood glucose levels and should be counted toward daily sugar limits for diabetics, while its 0.92 g of salt per 100 g contributes moderate sodium and may impact blood pressure, so it should be consumed sparingly by people managing hypertension.

Question 3

Is Bénénuts Dry‑roasted salted cashew nuts suitable for vegan, keto, gluten‑free, or halal diets?

Accepted Answer

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, making the product vegan and compatible with halal principles, but with 30 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it is not keto‑friendly; although no gluten ingredients are present, the trace‑contamination warning for gluten means it cannot be guaranteed gluten‑free.
