Package alert! Leads to over-consumption
The package size is small enough for people to consume as a single portion. The actual serving size and nutrition information relate to a single serving. But this package contains more than one serving. Beware!
-
Very high in saturated fat
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholesterol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.
-
Salty! Has over 45% of the daily max
Americans consume 4000 mg of sodium daily when the maximum recommended amount is 2300mg for healthy adults. Many people should not exceed 1500mg. Most of the sodium (65%) in our diet comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker. Excess sodium intake increases blood pressure, causes hypertension and other heart problems. That’s why most of us need to cut back.

VERY high fiber >40% DV. Proceed slowly
Fiber is a very important part of your diet, but consuming too much, too fast may cause bloating.

Watch the cholesterol...
While cholesterol has been shown to be less harmful than once believed, you should not consume more than 300mg a day. This product contains more than 10% of your daily cholesterol intake. If you're on a low cholesterol diet, make sure you pay attention to portion: 10% of your daily allowance can quickly become 50% when a hamburger turns into double cheeseburger. Trouble sticking to daily goals? Try limiting your meat, cheese and dairy intake to one item per meal and avoid items with multiple sources of cholesterol (like chicken with ham and cheese, breakfast sandwiches with sausage and cheese or bacon cheeseburgers). Opt for items like BLT's, chicken sandwiches with veggies and meatless pizza. Choose water and not milk for your main mealtime beverage.

Calcium chloride and waste reduction...
Calcium chloride is thought of as OK for your health, though some advise that it could cause slight stomach irritation. When used as an additive in products like jellies or cheeses, it causes the food to firm up. When used in tomato-based products it prevents disintegration. It also adds a tiny bit of saltiness without adding sodium. This additive is a by-product of The Solvay process. In this process, carbon dioxide is mixed with table salt and ammonia to create soda ash (or potash) and other products, like baking soda. One of the problems is that this process produces waste - a lot of waste. As a result of this and other technological advances, the last Solvay plant in the US closed in 1986. But the process continues in other parts of the world. While more and more calcium chloride is removed from the waste in settling ponds or dumped directly into the sea, the issue of what to do with this by-product is still relevant. By using calcium chloride as a food additive, manufacturers are actually reducing the amount of waste that is put back into the environment. Whether this is a "reuse" effort you want to be a part of is up to you . . .
