Why does this virgin sunflower oil receive a Nutri‑Score of B despite its high fat content?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm rewards low levels of saturated fat, sugars and salt; this oil has very low saturated fat (12 g per 100 ml) and almost no sugar or salt, which offsets the high total fat and gives it a B rating.

Is this oil suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the oil contains only plant‑derived sunflower seed and no animal products, gluten or added carbohydrates, making it fully compatible with vegan, keto and gluten‑free eating patterns.

How should virgin sunflower oil be stored after opening to preserve its quality?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; refrigeration can further slow oxidation, and using a clean dry utensil prevents contamination.
