Why does this product receive a Nutri-Score of A despite its high fat content?

The Nutri-Score algorithm rewards foods that are high in protein and fiber and low in sugar, salt and saturated fat; because the almonds provide 27 g of protein, 12.5 g of fiber, only 4.4 g of sugar, 0.03 g of salt and have very little saturated fat, the high total fat does not lower the score.

Is this product suitable for a vegan, keto, or gluten-free diet?

Yes, the almonds are plant-based and contain no animal ingredients, making the snack vegan and keto-friendly because it has very low carbohydrate content; however, because the label notes possible traces of gluten, it cannot be guaranteed gluten-free for highly sensitive individuals.

Are the almonds in this snack a risk for people with nut allergies or for those sensitive to cross-contamination?

Because the product consists of almonds, it is not safe for people allergic to tree nuts, and the label also mentions possible traces of peanuts, other nuts, sesame, soy, gluten and sulfites, so cross-contamination risks are present.
