Nutritional Summary
The product scores well for being roasted, having zero trans fat, and being very low in sugar. However, the sodium content is moderately high for a small 12g serving (123.9mg, or 6.2% of daily RDA). The use of flavour enhancers and the low per-serving protein and fiber content prevent a higher rating. It is a decent alternative to fried snacks if consumed in moderation.

Marketing Claims
Claims like 'Roasted', 'Gluten Free', 'Zero Transfat', and 'Zero Cholesterol' are accurate. However, the 'High Protein' claim is questionable for a single serving, which provides only 1 gram of protein. The '8% Protein' claim, while technically correct on a per-100g basis, could be misleading to consumers focusing on per-serving intake. 'Super Healthy' is a subjective and unsubstantiated marketing term.
