Summary
This product contains beneficial ingredients like pinto beans and tomato paste, which provide protein, fiber, and antioxidants. However, the presence of soybean oil, a seed oil linked to inflammation, and calcium disodium EDTA, a synthetic preservative, detracts from its healthfulness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite having a relatively clean ingredient list.
