Overview
•This cassava-based fufu is low in fat and sodium, with no cholesterol, making it safe for heart-healthy diets in healthy adults.
•Fortified vitamins and iron are at moderate levels (e.g., 20% DV iron per serving), well below upper limits, reducing overdose risk.
•Potential for cyanogenic compounds in cassava is minimized through proper processing, but sensitive individuals should monitor intake.
•Suitable for pregnancy with iron and folate support, though consult a doctor for high-carb needs; not ideal for low-carb diets.
•No major allergens declared, but verify for potato sensitivities; long-term use as staple food is generally safe.
•Turmeric addition may cause mild GI upset in high amounts, but dosage here is low and unlikely to interact with common medications.
