Cornichons

Cornichons are plant‑based pickles marketed as extra‑fine gherkins, falling under the “Salty snacks” PNNS group. They carry a Nutri‑Score of C (score 7) and are classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), with very low fat (0.2 g per 100 g), low calories (33 kcal per 100 g) but a relatively high sugar content (4.6 g per 100 g) and a high salt level (1.8 g per 100 g). While the product provides modest protein and fiber, the elevated salt and added glucose‑fructose syrup limit its suitability for sodium‑restricted or low‑sugar diets.
