Summary

This product contains beans, water, and salt, which are generally healthy ingredients. However, the addition of calcium disodium EDTA as a color retention agent indicates a higher level of processing. While the nutritional profile is decent, the presence of this synthetic additive and the processing level limit its overall health score.
