I’ll never forget how Larry Hassler described Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll to me when I visited the company back in June 2007. “It’s like eating a salad,” he smiled, noting that the peanuts, nougat center and caramel provided similar components found in a salad (legume, dairy product, sweet dressing). Although peanuts are technically a legume, I don’t think even Hassler could get away with a labeling change, even if he were to call the famous Salted Nut Roll “salad-like.”
