Why is roasted salted peanuts classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because the peanuts are mechanically cleaned, roasted, and mixed with sunflower oil and salt, a set of processing steps that alter the raw ingredient, but no synthetic additives or preservatives are listed, so the product contains zero additives.

How does the fat and salt content of these roasted salted peanuts fit into a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

The snack provides a high amount of fat (≈ 53 g per 100 g), most of it unsaturated, yet it also contains saturated fat and 0.83 g of salt per 100 g, which is moderate; for a heart‑healthy or low‑sodium diet, it should be eaten in small portions and balanced with other low‑fat, low‑salt foods.

Are these peanuts safe for people with common food allergies, and what cross‑contamination risks exist?

They are a pure peanut product and therefore are unsafe for anyone with a peanut allergy; the label also warns of possible traces of gluten, other nuts and soy, indicating cross‑contamination risks for those sensitivities.
