Okay nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Ultra-processed — built with extras a kitchen wouldn’t use. Better as a rare treat, not a Good rating.
Better than most of Snacks — 42 of 62 sit at or below this number.
A 28 g handful is about 134 calories and 0.2 g of salt — before you finish the bag.
Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Better than most of Snacks — 42 of 62 sit at or below this number.

What pulled it down
Okay nutrition cannot be rated Excellent
The box is middling. That is fine as a sometimes food. It is not everyday Excellent.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
An okay nutrition box
About 3.5 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is moderate. Fat is high. Fibre is a genuine plus. Middling — fine sometimes.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
Palm oil
-8High in saturated fat. Process contaminants (3-MCPD, glycidyl esters) in refined oils.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

Ingredients
Roasted peanuts, soy protein isolate, chicory root, almonds, sugar, palm oil, honey.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Palm oil
−8High in saturated fat. The other cost is landscape. A daily chocolate spread is both stories at once.
Peanut
No concernA serious allergen. A two-ingredient peanut butter is a keep for everyone else.
Almonds
No concernA tree nut. A one-ingredient butter is a keep. A 2% almond drink is mostly water.
