Honey Roasted Almonds

What it is

Almonds (Prunus dulcis) that have been dry-roasted and coated with a sweet, sticky honey-and-sugar glaze, sometimes with added salt and oil. The coating caramelizes during roasting to form a thin candied shell.

Sweet-and-salty roasted nut snack; also used as an inclusion in trail mixes, granola, baked goods, and ice creams.

Why it's flagged

• contains tree nuts — must be declared as an almond allergen
• added sugars from honey/sugar coating
• honey is unsuitable for infants under 12 months due to risk of infant botulism
