Overall Rating: 2/5
Summary: Although the nuts are very fresh and crunchy and the raisins are plump and tasty, I cannot recommend this brand for its inclusion of trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), likely GMOs (e.g. soybean and canola oil) and BHT/BHA (linked to cancer). A better brand of nuts that can be found in Caribbean countries is Oskri (reviewed here). The ingredients are organic and wholesome.
Where to buy: Caribbean countries!
Ingredients: peanuts, select raisins, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and/or canola and/or peanut and/or palm olein and/or soybean oil, salt, BHT/BHA (antioxidant).

Please don't buy this product or brand. The nutritional profile isn't an issue, it's the ingredients (trans fats, BHT/BHA).BHT/BHA is linked to cancer (read about it here and here) and partially hydrogenated ingredients are linked to increased "bad" cholesterol and decreased "good" cholesterol (read about it here), which increases the risk for heart disease.
