365 by Whole Foods Market Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates 365 by Whole Foods Market Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets by 365 by Whole Foods Market OKAY — score 62/90.
This is a genuinely short, additive-free snack: refined pretzel shell around real peanut butter, with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The catch is the base, unbleached enriched white flour, which is a refined carb, and the salt runs high at 1.7g per 100g. Recognizable ingredients, but a refined-carb snack all the same.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable ingredient list with zero artificial additives, colors, or flavor enhancers
- Filling is real peanut butter (dry roasted peanuts) rather than a flavoring, adding genuine protein
- Base is unbleached enriched white flour, a refined grain stripped and re-fortified, which caps the health ceiling
- Two sweetener sources present (cane sugar in the peanut butter plus barley malt extract), though total sugar stays modest at ~7g/100g
- Sodium is high for a snack at 1.70g salt per 100g
