Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high content of calories (271 kcal), total fat (15.82 g), saturated fat (5.32 g), and sodium (349.5 mg) per 50g serving. These values contribute significantly to the daily recommended limits for a single snack item. While it is positive that the product contains no trans fat and is low in sugar, the excessive fat and sodium levels make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption, contradicting its 'Lite' branding.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claim 'Lite' is questionable and potentially misleading. A single 50g serving contains 271 kcal and over 15g of fat, which is not 'light' by general nutritional standards. This could mislead consumers into believing it is a low-calorie or low-fat health product. While it may be lighter than other products in the brand's portfolio, the claim is not substantiated on the packaging and is ambiguous, which is not aligned with transparent marketing practices.
