The catch

Sodium is 230mg per 28g serving, about 10 percent of a day, and the 4oz bag is 4 servings, so it is easy to reach 900mg or more. (source)

The honest take

These are baked chickpea puffs with a nacho cheese style flavor, built on chickpea, rice, and yellow pea flour with no dairy at all. Per 28g serving you get 130 calories, 4g of plant protein, 3g of fiber, and under 1g of sugar, which makes them a lighter, higher fiber stand in for a classic cheese puff. The catch a careful shopper will notice is that it is still an ultra processed snack fried in sunflower oil, and the protein is modest, so treat it as a better cheese puff rather than a protein food. If you want vegan, gluten free crunch without a sugar hit, it earns a spot.
