5/7

claims fully supported

“Sweet & Savoury”misleading

The 'sweet' element is supported by raisins (15.6 g sugars/100 g, zero added sugar). The 'savoury' element implies seasoning, yet sodium is 590 mg/100 g while no salt or sodium compound appears in the five-ingredient list — the source of the savoury sodium is undeclared.

“Premium Nut Mix”true

Contains three whole-kernel premium tree nuts (cashew, almond, pistachio) as confirmed by the ingredient list.

“Luxurious mix of Cashews, Almonds, Pistachios, Golden and Black Raisins”true

Ingredient list confirms exactly these five ingredients and no others.

“Delicious & Wholesome”unverified

'Delicious' is subjective and unverifiable. 'Wholesome' is broadly supported: all ingredients are whole foods with no artificial additives declared.

“No Added Sugar”true

Nutrition panel explicitly lists added sugars as 0 g per serve and 0 g per 100 g; all 15.6 g of sugars are intrinsic to the dried fruit.

“Zero Trans Fat”true

Nutrition panel confirms trans fat = 0.0 g per serve and per 100 g.

“Zero Cholesterol”true

Nutrition panel confirms cholesterol = 0 mg; product is entirely plant-based.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

No added sugar — confirmed zero added sugars on label
Zero trans fat across the full product
Zero cholesterol — all plant-based ingredients
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives declared
All five ingredients are whole recognisable foods
Good source of plant protein (~17 g per 100 g)

Working against

Unusually high sodium (590 mg/100 g) for plain nuts and raisins — salt source undeclared
Very high saturated fat: 21 g per 100 g (~9.5% RDA per 10 g serving)
High natural sugar from concentrated dried fruit (15.6 g/100 g)
Tree-nut allergen risk (cashew, almond, pistachio) — all three are major declared allergens
Golden raisins likely contain residual sulfur dioxide — risk for sulfite-sensitive and asthmatic individuals
High potassium load from raisins and pistachios — concern for kidney disease patients
FSSAI licence number absent from label data — regulatory compliance unconfirmed

Who should approach with care

Nut Allergy — Cashews, almonds, and pistachios are all declared major tree-nut allergens under US FALCPA, EU Regulation 1169/2011, and equivalent global frameworks; ingestion in sensitised individuals can trigger severe anaphylaxis.

Infants — Whole nuts and raisins are a recognised choking hazard for infants; golden raisins carry residual sulfur dioxide of particular concern in very young children with immature detoxification capacity, and tree-nut introduction requires paediatric or allergist guidance.

Children — Whole cashews, almonds, and pistachios are choking hazards in young children, and as declared major allergens, initial exposure should be supervised and follow paediatric allergy-introduction guidance.

Sulfite Sensitivity — Golden raisins are treated with sulfur dioxide (up to ~4,000 ppm per USDA data), which can trigger severe bronchospasm or anaphylaxis in sulfite-hypersensitive individuals and asthmatics.

Kidney Disease — The combination of cashews and almonds (high oxalates and phosphorus) with raisins and pistachios (concentrated potassium) creates a significant risk of exacerbating hyperkalaemia and nephrolithiasis in individuals with chronic kidney disease.

Diabetes — Golden and black raisins together contribute a concentrated natural sugar load (predominantly glucose and fructose) that can cause rapid postprandial blood glucose elevation; strict portion control is required.

Ibs — Both raisin varieties (high fructose/FODMAPs) and pistachios (fructans) are documented FODMAP sources that can trigger bloating, cramping, and altered bowel habits in IBS-susceptible individuals.

Ibd — The high fibre and FODMAP content of raisins may aggravate gastrointestinal symptoms during active flares of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis; individualised dietary advice should be followed.

Gout — The substantial fructose load from both raisin varieties can increase endogenous uric acid synthesis, potentially precipitating or worsening gout flares in susceptible individuals.

Other — Individuals with latex-fruit syndrome or sensitivity to other Anacardiaceae family members (mango) may experience cross-reactive allergic responses to cashews and pistachios due to shared protein epitopes; asthmatic individuals are also at elevated risk from sulfite residues in golden raisins.

The full analysis

Eat Better Co's Sweet & Savoury Premium Nut Mix is popular with health-conscious snackers looking for a convenient whole-food snack. The good news is that every ingredient is a recognisable whole food — no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, or added sugars — and the zero trans-fat and zero cholesterol figures check out. The one notable flag is the sodium figure: 590 mg per 100 g is high for plain mixed nuts and raisins, yet no salt or sodium compound appears anywhere in the five-ingredient list, suggesting either an unlisted seasoning or a possible OCR transcription issue on the label data. The most useful thing a curious consumer should know is that this is otherwise a genuinely clean, minimally processed snack, but anyone with a tree-nut allergy, sulfite sensitivity, or kidney disease should approach with care.
