Our take
CleanPlate reviewA trail mix led by sweetened dried fruit
Farmley Trail Mix lists dried cranberries and black currants first, then almonds, cashews, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dried blueberries, olive oil, sugar, rock salt and sunflower oil. No percentages are declared.
CleanPlate scores it CB2. The C for nutrition is middling: 7.1 g fibre per 100 g; its 9 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by dried cranberries, black currants and almonds), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 4.1 mg, free sugar 9.5 g, saturated fat 2.4 g per 100 g).
