Why does this virgin sunflower oil receive a Nutri‑Score of C despite being 100 % fat?

Nutri‑Score evaluates energy density and the amount of saturated fatty acids; the oil’s high calorie content (828 kcal per 100 ml) and 10 g of saturated fat lower its grade to C even though it contains no sugars or salt.

How does the high fat and calorie content of this oil affect a weight‑loss or heart‑healthy diet?

Because the oil provides about 9 kcal per gram of fat, it can quickly increase daily calorie intake; using it sparingly or replacing it with lower‑calorie fats is advisable for weight‑loss or heart‑healthy eating plans.

Are the possible traces of nuts and sesame in this oil a concern for people with allergies?

Yes, the label indicates possible cross‑contamination with nuts and sesame, so individuals with severe allergies should avoid the product or consult a medical professional before consuming it.
