Product Insights
Houmous is a plant‑based spread classified in the Fat and sauces (Dressings and sauces) group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of B and falls in NOVA group 3, offering low sugar (0.6 g) and salt (0.26 g) per 100 g, higher fiber (2.8 g) and protein (3.6 g) than typical hummus, but contains 11 g of fat and the preservative potassium sorbate (E202). Thus the product is relatively low‑calorie (≈132 kcal) and suitable for vegan diets, yet the moderate fat level and presence of a synthetic preservative may be concerns for some consumers.
