Nutritional Summary
The product is low in calories, fat, and contains no added sugar, which are positive attributes. However, the sodium content per serving is very high (500mg), accounting for 25% of the recommended daily allowance. This significantly impacts its overall healthiness, making it less suitable for regular consumption, especially for individuals monitoring their sodium intake. The presence of a stabilizer also slightly lowers the score.
