Contains torula yeast, a MSG substitute
Torula is a species of yeast, also known as candida utilis. It has become a popular food additive in recent years, but not without some controversy. Torula yeast has been used as an additive in pet food for years. Recently, it has found its way into savory dishes for us humans. It all started with a backlash against monosodium glutamate (MSG). People looking for natural and healthy foods avoided products containing MSG. Manufacturers, looking for a replacement additive that would provide the umami flavor of MSG, without the allergic reactions some people get. For most people, Torula yeast is perfectly safe. Unfortunately for some, replacing MSG with torula yeast does not make the allergic reaction go away. The only way to really know is to eat a food with Torula yeast and see if it affects you or not.

Highly Processed!
This product is highly processed. If you'll take a look at its ingredient list, you'll discover new words to add to your vocabulary. Many of theses ingredients are required to increase the shelf life of the product and improve the flavor that disappears when food is not fresh.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers. People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

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.
