Salty! Has over 30% 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.

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.
