Bolinhos de milho Treloso

The barcode 7896213007324 is associated with "Bolinhos de Milho Treloso", a product from Treloso, a well-known Brazilian food company specializing in snacks, particularly corn-based products like bolinhos de milho (corn fritters or puffs). Here’s what can be inferred about this specific product:

Product Details

• Type: Corn-based snack (likely deep-fried or baked puffs, similar to bolinhos de milho or pão de queijo variations).
• Brand: Treloso (a subsidiary of JBS, a major Brazilian food conglomerate).
• Origin: Brazil (manufactured in Brazil, targeting the domestic market).
• Common Variations: Typically contains cornmeal, wheat flour, salt, and sometimes additives like preservatives or flavor enhancers. Some versions may include milk derivatives or egg (check packaging for allergens).

Potential Warnings/Concerns

1. Allergens:

   • Common allergens in corn snacks include wheat (gluten) and sometimes milk (if baked with dairy). Always verify the label for "contains milk" or "may contain traces" warnings.
   • Cross-contamination risk: If processed in facilities handling nuts, soy, or other allergens, this could apply.

2. Nutritional Profile (Typical for Corn Snacks):

   • High in carbohydrates (from cornmeal/flour) and moderate fat (from frying or oil content).
   • Low protein/fiber unless fortified (unlikely in standard versions).
   • Sodium content: Often high due to salt added during processing. Excessive sodium intake is linked to hypertension.
   • Preservatives: Some Brazilian snacks use E-322 (lecithin), E-330 (citric acid), or E-200 (sorbic acid) for shelf life. These are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) but may cause sensitivities in some individuals.
