Common ground

Claim 1: “That same serving will also provide... half of your vitamin E for the day”
CORROBORATED
One source explicitly states 50% of the daily value for vitamin E. Another source notes that a 30g portion contains almost double the recommended daily intake (which would be 100%, but the claim is 'half' or 50%, which is supported by the 50% figure in the third source).
