Summary

This product contains pinto beans, which are a nutritious source of protein and fiber, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, the presence of calcium disodium EDTA, a synthetic additive used for color retention, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the beneficial qualities of the beans.
