Why does this mix receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for lowering its grade?

The Nutri‑Score D is driven mainly by the high sugar content (22 g) and high total fat (43 g) per 100 g, which generate many negative points, while the modest fiber (5.8 g) and low fruit‑veg‑legume share (31 %) provide only a few positive points, resulting in a net score that places it in the D band.

How does the high sugar content in this mix affect people with diabetes or those monitoring blood glucose?

With 22 g of sugars per 100 g, the snack can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes or anyone following a low‑sugar diet should limit portion sizes or choose alternatives with lower sugar to avoid spikes.

Are the almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and possible traces of peanuts in this product a risk for individuals with nut allergies?

Yes, the blend contains almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and a warning that traces of peanuts may be present, so anyone with a tree‑nut or peanut allergy should avoid this product to prevent allergic reactions.
