The catch

Sodium runs 270mg per 1 oz serving and a single 3.75 oz bag is about 4 servings, so the whole bag lands near 1080mg, close to half a day's limit. (source)

The honest take

These are baked chickpea puffs, not cheese, so the cheddar flavor is fully plant based and dairy free. A 1 oz serving gives you 130 calories, 3g of protein and 2g of fiber, which is a modest step up from a classic cheese puff, and the ingredient list is refreshingly short with no artificial colors or flavors. The real story is the sodium at 270mg per serving, and since a 3.75 oz bag holds about 4 servings, it is easy to eat past 1000mg in one sitting. It is still an ultra processed snack built on chickpea and rice flour with sunflower oil and maltodextrin, so treat it as a better puff, not a health food.
