Graded B — 50 out of 100, #22 of 41 snacks & candy. Low saturated fat carries the score (94/100); micronutrients drags it down (0/100).

The short version: Fig paste in a soft cake shell — the lunchbox classic.

The catch: Per-pack label used; the 48 oz box SmartLabel entry is internally inconsistent (values contradict their own %DVs).
