Overall Rating: 1/5
Summary: Meh, the banana chips and nuts are not very fresh, except the 1 or 2 walnuts pieces included. The dried fruit are the best bet. I cannot recommend this product for its inclusion of trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), artificial colours (linked to cancer, allergies), sulphur dioxide (linked to allergies, asthma, and cancer) and BHT/BHA (linked to cancer). Further, the oils used are likely GMO (e.g. canola, soybean). 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, cashews, pecans, raisins, honey-dipped banana chips, dehydrated pineapple, sweetened dried cranberries, dehydrated orange coloured papaya, natural mango, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and/or canola and/or palm olein and/or soybean oil, salt, FD&C yellow lake #6, BHT/BHA antioxidant, traces of sulphur dioxide.

Okay, I'm not even going to bother going through the nutritional profile. There are just too many unhealthy ingredients; it's just not worth it. Skip this snack at any cost.
