Gusanitos
Product Insights
Gusanitos are corn-based baked snack sticks marketed as a salty appetizer, classified in the PNNS groups of salty snacks and appetizers. With a Nutri-Score of D and a NOVA 4 rating, they are ultra-processed, contain flavorings with wheat, monosodium glutamate (E621), and trace milk, resulting in a high salt level (2.1 g per 100 g) and moderate saturated fat (2.9 g), though they are low in sugar (0.2 g) and provide 3 g of fiber. These attributes make Gusanitos a convenient crunchy snack but advise caution for those limiting sodium, avoiding gluten or milk, or seeking minimally processed foods.
