The catch

A single half cup packs 11g of added sugar and 570mg of sodium, and since most people eat closer to a full cup you can easily double both. (source)

The honest take

These are tender navy beans slow simmered with brown sugar and real bacon, which is exactly why they taste like a cookout and not like a health food. A half cup gives you a respectable 7g of protein and 5g of fiber, but it also carries 11g of added sugar and 570mg of sodium, and brown sugar sits third on the ingredient list right after the beans and water. If you want the convenience and flavor of a classic baked bean for a barbecue, they deliver, but a health minded shopper watching sugar or blood pressure should treat this as a treat side rather than a daily bean.
