Packaged food and beverages / Snacks, nuts and dried produce / Savoury snacks

Crisps, extruded snacks, popcorn, pretzels, seaweed snacks (acrylamide, salt reduction notices).

Food: partial coverage. Food verdicts cover labelling and import duties. Additive and contaminant limits are not yet in the rule data, so a food result is not a full check of what the product may contain.
