Health notes
As a composite food ingredient, Kettle Sweet Mixed Nuts are not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. Nuts are a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. However, the "sweet" aspect means they contain added sugars, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA evaluate food additives, not composite food ingredients like mixed nuts.
