The catch

Sodium is 280mg per 1 ounce serving, about 12 percent of the daily value, and it is easy to eat well past one serving from a 4 ounce bag. (source)

The honest take

These are a baked pea and chickpea puff, not fried, with 130 calories, 3g of plant protein, and 2g of fiber per 1 ounce serving, plus certified gluten free, vegan, and Non GMO Project Verified stamps. That makes them a reasonable swap for a classic cheese puff if you want something dairy free and lighter, but do not mistake them for a whole food. The ingredient list runs through refined pea, rice, and corn flours, sunflower oil, and maltodextrin with natural flavor and yeast extract doing the cheesy work, so this is still an ultra processed snack. The 3g of protein is modest for a bag that leans on its pea heritage, and the real reason to reach for it is texture and dietary fit, not nutrition.
