Why does Purée sésame 1/2 complet receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The D rating stems mainly from its high total and saturated fat content, which generates many negative points in the Nutri‑Score algorithm, while the product provides low amounts of sugars, salt, and protein that do not offset the fat penalty.

Is this sesame paste suitable for specific dietary patterns such as vegan, gluten‑free, keto, or halal?

Yes, the product is vegan and gluten‑free, contains no animal-derived ingredients and therefore meets halal criteria, and its high‑fat, low‑carbohydrate profile makes it compatible with a keto diet, although its elevated saturated fat should be considered by those monitoring heart‑health parameters.

Can individuals with a sesame allergy safely consume this product, and are there any cross‑contamination risks?

No, the paste is made entirely from sesame seeds, so it is not safe for anyone with a sesame allergy, and the label also notes possible traces of nuts, peanuts and soy, indicating additional cross‑contamination risks for those with related sensitivities.
