Product Insights
Cornichons are pickled gherkins sold by KING'S CROWN and available at Hofer in Austria and Germany, packaged in a 300 g jar. They belong to the Salty snacks (Salty and fatty products) group, carry a Nutri‑Score of C and are classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), offering very low fat (0.5 g), low sugars (0.8 g) and modest protein (0.5 g) per 100 g, while the salt level stands at 1.4 g. The ingredient list includes cucumber, water, spirit vinegar, dill, mustard seeds and a sweetener (sodium saccharin), which introduces a potential allergen (mustard) and a non‑nutrient additive, offsetting some of its nutritional advantages.
