Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for lowering its grade?

The Nutri‑Score awards points for high energy, saturated fat, sugars and salt while giving positive points for protein, fibre and fruit/veg content. This cracker scores negatively for its high salt (2.2 g) and saturated fat (3.6 g) and only gains modest positive points from protein (16 g) and fibre (6 g), leading to a total of 15 points and a D rating.

How does the 2.2 g of salt per 100 g in these spelt crackers affect people with hypertension?

At 2.2 g per 100 g, the crackers provide about 37 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily salt intake (5 g). Regular consumption can therefore contribute noticeably to blood‑pressure elevation, so individuals with hypertension should limit portions or choose lower‑salt options.

Can someone following a vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diet eat these crackers?

No, the crackers contain spelt (wheat gluten) and dairy cheese and milk powder, making them unsuitable for gluten‑free, vegan or halal diets, and the high carbohydrate level (≈60 g per 100 g) also excludes them from strict keto plans.

Product Insights

These spelt crackers flavored with AOP Gruyère cheese are sold in a 228 g plastic bag and belong to the Salty snacks and Appetizers groups. The product offers a good amount of protein (16 g) and fibre (6 g) with low sugars (2.8 g), but it is relatively high in fat (16 g), saturated fat (3.6 g) and especially salt (2.2 g per 100 g), resulting in a Nutri‑Score of D and a NOVA 3 classification. While it makes a tasty, cheese‑y snack, the presence of gluten and milk allergens means it is not suitable for gluten‑free or dairy‑free diets and should be eaten in moderation by those watching salt or fat intake.
