The catch

The real catch is the name, this is a dry nutritional yeast seasoning and not a pourable BBQ sauce, and each 2 tablespoon serving carries 105mg of sodium. (source)

The honest take

Heads up, this is not actually a BBQ sauce. Bragg Smokey BBQ is a nutritional yeast seasoning you shake onto food, and the ingredient list is refreshingly short at just smoked dried yeast, sea salt, and a few added B vitamins. Two tablespoons give you 5g of plant protein, 3g of fiber, and 0g of sugar for 35 calories and 105mg of sodium, plus a big dose of vitamin B12. For a plant based eater who wants smoky, savory flavor with a real nutrient boost it is a genuinely useful pantry staple, so long as you know you are buying a dry seasoning and not a pourable sauce.
