The catch

A seed or refined oil is in the mix, so pass if that is on your avoid list. (source)

The honest take

It is low in sugar, which is rare for the aisle. The label lists 6g protein, 180 calories, 570mg sodium per 142 g.

Here is the tradeoff. It contains a seed or refined oil, which matters if you are avoiding them.
