Spicy Pub Mix, 12.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the supermarket snack aisle or grab it for a party, tailgate, or movie night — a salty, crunchy pub-mix meant for sharing. The blend of butter-toasted peanuts, rice crackers, sesame sticks and wasabi peas gives an indulgent, slightly nostalgic pub-snack vibe with a spicy kick. The long ingredient list, added flavors, colors and anticaking agents point to heavy industrial processing and uniform crunchy texture, consistent with an ultraprocessed (NOVA 4) product.

Common Questions about Spicy Pub Mix, 12.5 OZ
The Spicy Pub Mix can be a fun snack option, especially if you're looking for something savory and crunchy. It offers a mix of protein from the peanuts and some fiber from the rice crackers, but it’s not necessarily a 'health food.' Think of it as a tasty treat rather than a health powerhouse — perfect for a movie night or game day!
