Why does this product have a Nutri-Score of A despite its high fat content?

Nutri-Score assigns positive points for protein, fiber and low sugar or salt, and the walnut's high plant protein and fiber outweigh its fat, resulting in an overall A rating.

How does the low sugar and salt content affect suitability for diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The very low sugar and negligible salt make it compatible with diabetic and hypertension management, but the high calorie and fat content require careful portion control.

Is the walnut ingredient a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, walnut kernels are a tree‑nut allergen, so individuals allergic to walnuts or other tree nuts should avoid this product.
