Why does this green pitted olive product have a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients drive that rating?

The Nutri‑Score D results mainly from the high salt content (4 g per 100 g) which adds 19 negative points, together with moderate fat (14 g) and saturated fat (2 g) adding a few more points, while the low protein (1 g) and limited fruit‑vegetable‑legume proportion (69 %) provide few positive points, leading to an overall low score.

How does the salt content in these olives affect people who need to limit sodium?

At 4 g of salt per 100 g, the olives provide roughly 400 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum daily salt intake of 5 g; consuming the entire 160 g jar would supply about 6.4 g of salt, which can raise blood pressure and is unsuitable for hypertension or low‑sodium diets.

Can this product be included in vegan, keto or gluten‑free eating plans?

Yes, the olives are completely plant‑based and contain no gluten‑containing ingredients, making them suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets; they also contain only 1.3 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, so they fit well within keto macronutrient limits, although the high salt level may need to be considered.
