Why does this cracker receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients contribute most to that rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm penalises high levels of salt (1.8 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.5 g per 100 g) as well as its overall energy density (449 kcal per 100 g); these negative points outweigh the positive impact of its protein and fiber, resulting in a D rating.

How does the salt content in these crackers affect a hypertensive diet?

Each 30 g serving provides about 0.5 g of salt, which is roughly 10 % of the recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, so regular consumption can significantly contribute to sodium intake and should be limited for people with high blood pressure.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑carb diets?

No; the crackers contain wheat flour (gluten) and emmental cheese (milk), so they are neither vegan nor gluten‑free, and with 46 g of carbohydrates per 100 g they are not appropriate for strict low‑carb eating plans.
