THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains about 587 kcal per 100 g, so eating from a large bag can make portions easy to underestimate.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause life-threatening reactions; cross-contact must be taken seriously.
  • Whole peanuts and broken pieces are choking hazards for infants and young children; CDC advises against whole or chopped nuts for this group.
  • Flavoured retail products are different from this generic unflavoured profile and require their package ingredients and nutrition.
  • Roasted peanuts can become rancid after prolonged warm or open storage; keep them cool and airtight and discard stale or bitter nuts.
