Why does this coconut oil receive a Nutri‑Score of E despite being minimally processed, and which nutrients drive that rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm penalises high energy and saturated‑fat content; with 900 kcal and 92 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, the oil accumulates the maximum negative points, outweighing any positive points, resulting in a grade of E even though it is a minimally processed (NOVA 2) product.

How does the high saturated‑fat content of this oil affect a heart‑healthy or low‑cholesterol diet?

Saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol levels, so consuming large amounts of this oil may counteract heart‑healthy diet goals; it is best used sparingly or combined with oils lower in saturated fat for people monitoring cholesterol.

Is this coconut oil suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the oil is 100 % plant‑derived, contains no animal ingredients, is free of gluten and fits well into keto plans because it provides high fat with virtually no carbs or protein, though its high saturated‑fat level should be considered in overall dietary balance.
