Why is ARAHIDE classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

ARAHIDE consists of roasted peanuts that have been salted and may include a small amount of oil to enhance flavor and texture; these added salt and oil steps qualify it as a NOVA 3 processed product.

How does the sodium content in this product affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

The added salt raises the snack’s sodium level, which can contribute to higher blood pressure and should be limited by individuals managing hypertension or seeking a heart‑healthy eating pattern.

Is ARAHIDE safe for people with peanut or other nut allergies?

No, ARAHIDE is made entirely of peanuts, a major allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone with peanut or related nut sensitivities.
