Pumpkin Seeds (Styrian)

Our research notes

What to know before you choose this nuts & seeds

The maker’s page does not publish an ingredient statement we could capture, so this record is unscored; compare the label on the package or the retailer listing before you buy. The maker describes it as gluten free, non gmo and kosher; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For nuts or seeds, the comparison that matters most is roasting and oil: dry roasted versus oil roasted; the list names any oil.

• Good to knowFull ingredient label not captured, so additive checks are unknown, not clear.
