Product Insights
Jalapeño Houmous is a plant‑based spread made from cooked chickpeas, rapeseed oil, sesame paste and red jalapeño peppers, marketed as vegan. According to the French PNNS classification it falls in the “Fat and sauces” (dressings and sauces) group; it carries a Nutri‑Score of B and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), with a relatively high fat content (23 g per 100 g) and moderate salt (0.57 g per 100 g) but low sugars (1 g per 100 g) and a good amount of protein (6.8 g) and fiber (4.8 g). The formulation also contains two additives (calcium chloride E509 and potassium sorbate E202) and a sesame seed allergen, which are the main points to consider alongside its vegan and plant‑based positioning.
