Which nutrients are responsible for the product's D Nutri-Score rating?

The D Nutri-Score results from the combination of high energy (about 495 kcal per 100 g), a high total-fat content (reported as high), and a moderate amount of salt (0.9 g per 100 g), which generate more negative points than the small positive contributions from its low sugar and modest fiber.

How does the salt content of these ready salted crisps affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.9 g of salt per 100 g, a standard 30 g serving provides roughly 0.27 g of salt, contributing about 5-6% of the WHO's recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, so regular consumption can increase sodium intake and should be limited by people with high blood pressure.

Is the sunflower oil used in these crisps a potential allergen for consumers?

Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds and can cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitised to seed oils, although it is generally considered a low-risk allergen compared with peanuts or soy, and it also ensures the product is palm-oil-free.
