Family says: Everyone except Julia liked this brand, describing it as tangy. Joshua liked its appearance and declared it tasted like “salsa, but not so spicy.” He even had two servings. While Erika preferred the PC brand a little more, she said she’d probably buy this one first because “it’s the one my son would eat.”
Dietitian says: “This product has a fairly good nutrition profile for total fat and saturated and trans fats; however it has a high sodium and sugar content (sugar is the third ingredient). In sauces and dips, attempt to keep the sugar content to less than 10 grams per serving.”
