The catch

Sodium is the catch at 790mg per cup and roughly 1,720mg if you eat the whole can, which is 75 percent of the daily limit. (source)

The honest take

This is Campbell's Chunky Chili Mac, a canned chili mac with kidney beans, enriched macaroni, and a seasoned beef and pork crumble. On paper a cup is reasonable at 200 calories with 9g protein and 4g fiber, and the ingredient list is fairly plain with no high fructose corn syrup and only 2g added sugar. The real story is the salt, because one cup carries 790mg of sodium and the 18.8 oz can holds about two of them, so finishing the can lands you around 1,720mg, which is 75 percent of a full day. It works as a cheap, filling pantry meal, but it is a sodium bomb if you treat the can as a single portion the way most people do.
