The catch

Each half cup packs roughly 13 grams of added sugar and 560 mg of sodium, so the sauce is sweeter and saltier than the plain bean base suggests. (source)

The honest take

Vegetarian Baked Beans are navy beans in a brown sugar and tomato sauce with no pork, so they stay fully plant based and fat free at 140 calories per half cup. You also get about 6 grams of protein and some fiber, which is more than most canned sides hand you. The reason to pause is the sweetness and salt, since brown sugar sits near the top of the ingredient list and one serving carries roughly 13 grams of sugar and 560 mg of sodium. Treated as an occasional side rather than an everyday staple, they are a genuinely reasonable pantry pick with a short, recognizable ingredient list.
