Common questions

Is Elmhurst Pistacho healthy?

Elmhurst Pistacho scores 10/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Elmhurst Pistacho?

Elmhurst Pistacho lists 21 ingredients, starting with Filtered Water, Vanilla Extract, Salt, Pea Protein and Mung Bean Protein. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Elmhurst Pistacho contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Elmhurst Pistacho’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Elmhurst Pistacho?

Elmhurst Pistacho is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

Is Elmhurst Pistacho organic?

Yes. Elmhurst Pistacho carries USDA Organic certification, which is worth +5 points in the score above.

Has Elmhurst Pistacho been lab tested?
