Why does this product receive a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The E rating is driven by its high saturated‑fat (5.3 g/100 g), moderate sugar (5.8 g/100 g) and salt (2.3 g/100 g) levels, combined with a low proportion of fruits, vegetables or legumes (1.4 %) and modest fiber, which together lower the overall nutritional quality score.

How do the salt and saturated‑fat levels in these crackers affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

At 2.3 g of salt per 100 g, the crackers contribute about 46 % of the WHO daily limit of 5 g, and the 5.3 g of saturated fat adds to LDL‑cholesterol risk; regular consumption could challenge blood‑pressure control and heart‑healthy eating plans.

Can people following vegan or gluten‑free diets eat these crackers?

No. The product contains dairy (butter and milk powder) and wheat flour, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free and should be avoided by those with dairy or gluten sensitivities.
