Gherkins
Product Insights
Gherkins are shelf-stable pickled cucumbers sold by Tesco, belonging to the "Salty snacks" group of the PNNS classification. They carry a Nutri-Score of C and are classified as NOVA 4 ultra-processed, containing low fat (0.3 g), low sugars (2.1 g) and modest fiber (1.3 g) per 100 g, but a relatively high salt level of 2 g. The formulation includes the firming agent calcium chloride (E509) and mustard seed, and while it provides about 72 % vegetables by weight, the added salt and ultra-processed status limit its healthfulness.
