The catch

Keep an eye on the sodium, 1750mg a serving sits on the high side for the category. (source)

The honest take

It is low in sugar, which is rare for the aisle. The label lists 9.4g protein, 719 calories, 1750mg sodium per 100g.

Here is the tradeoff. It runs high in sodium, so keep an eye on the daily total if you eat it often.
