Why is Croustiches classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA group 3 indicates that the snack is made from processed ingredients such as legume flour and peanut puree rather than being a single‑ingredient food; the only listed additive is the antioxidant rosemary extract (E392).

Is the peanut ingredient in Croustiches a concern for people with peanut allergies?

Yes, the product lists peanut puree as 20 % of the formulation and is flagged with a peanut allergen warning, so it should be avoided by anyone who is allergic to peanuts.

Can Croustiches be considered suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All ingredients are plant‑based and the label confirms the product is free from gluten, making it compatible with both vegan and gluten‑free dietary preferences.
