Why does this product receive a Nutri‑Score A despite its high total fat content?

Nutri‑Score prioritises protein, fiber and low sugar and salt; the 21 g protein and 25 g fiber per 100 g outweigh the 40 g fat, resulting in an overall A rating.

Are the possible gluten traces in this product a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

The label states that the seeds may contain traces of gluten‑containing cereals, so individuals with celiac disease should treat it as potentially unsafe.

How does the high fat and protein profile of brown flax seeds fit into a ketogenic or low‑carb diet?

With only 4.5 g carbohydrates (including 2 g sugars) per 100 g, the seeds are very low in carbs and high in fat and protein, making them suitable for keto or other low‑carb eating plans, provided the overall daily fat intake is balanced.
