The verdict

Smart sense, spicy salsa snack mix by Smart Sense scores 50/100 in PlainFoodSafe's ingredient screening. We compared its 44 labeled ingredients with FDA SAFFA regulatory records and CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings; 2 ingredients are flagged for caution. The source parser split this into a very long 44-component record, beginning with Cajun Style Peanuts, Peanuts, Peanut Oil. That density can include amounts and label fragments, so verify the physical label before relying on ingredient order or completeness. This is not a recall, allergy, medical, or dietary-safety determination.

Screening model notes

How Nutri-Score, NOVA, and list length read this record

This label lands in the third of four positions on the published scale. What separates that position from its neighbours is arithmetic rather than judgement: identical inputs run through the documented weighting always arrive at the same place. Anyone who works the calculation through by hand, using the methodology write-up together with the itemised ratings further down, will reproduce this number exactly — which is the reason for publishing a computed figure instead of an opinion.

This label falls in the fourth Nutri-Score band. The model arrives there when its penalty terms — energy density, sugars, saturated fat, sodium — carry more weight in the calculation than the fibre, protein and produce content it credits. The band covers a wide span of the points scale, so position within it is not visible from the letter alone. The grade reflects the declared nutrition panel and is unrelated to the additive ratings listed below, which come from different bodies applying different criteria.

The declared list is among the longer ones in this catalogue. A component set this wide means the screen returns many individual ratings, and the composite accumulates a large number of small contributions instead of turning on a handful of entries. At this length the per-component table below is substantially more informative than the single figure, because the figure compresses a great deal of variation into one number.

Source Open Food Facts, product label ingredient lists · July 2026

Ingredient-list length is a descriptive property of the label, not a safety rating. A longer list is not automatically worse and a shorter one is not automatically better; the count is shown so the label can be placed against a comparable population. The comparison here runs against the 81,477 Snacks products we publish with a parsed label, not against the whole catalogue, because list length varies far more between categories than within one.

Full Ingredient List

Cajun style peanuts (peanuts, peanut oil, salt, yellow corn flour, dried torula yeast, spices, dehydrated onion, monosodium glutamate, dehydrated garlic, bell pepper, spice extractives), sesame sticks (wheat flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour], soybean oil, sesame seeds, bulgur wheat, salt, beet powder [color], turmeric [color]), almonds (almonds, peanut oil), salsa flavored corn sticks (yellow corn masa flour, soybean oil, seasoning [whey powder, tomato powder, salt, maltodextrin, green pepper powder, onion powder, natural flavoring, spices, dried torula yeast, beet powder {color}, annatto {color}]), chili crackers (glutinous rice, soy sauce [water, soybeans, wheat, salt], sugar, chili powder, yellow 5, yellow 6), pepitas (pumpkin kernels, peanut oil).
