Why does Original Gourmet receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns penalty points for high energy, total fat, saturated fat and salt; with 520 kcal, 31 g fat, 2.7 g saturated fat and 0.9 g salt, the product accumulates enough negative points that only a small positive contribution from 3.8 g fiber can not offset, resulting in a D grade.

Is Original Gourmet suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The snack lists only potatoes, sunflower oil and salt, all of which are plant‑based, so it is vegan and gluten‑free; however, its relatively high carbohydrate content makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets.

Is the sunflower oil used in this snack a concern for people with oil allergies or for environmental sustainability?

Sunflower oil is rarely allergenic and is considered a low‑allergen oil, so it is safe for most consumers, and because the product is labelled palm‑oil‑free, the use of sunflower oil is viewed as a more sustainable choice.
