Review of 'Lance' Salted Peanuts

Lance -- Salted Peanuts (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: nice, fresh, though a bit too salty for me. Nevertheless, I can't recommend this brand when there is no demonstration of interest in social or environmental initiatives. Also, Lance uses monosodium glutamate in some products, which has demonstrated adverse health impacts.

Where to buy: store locator (US only)

  • Honestly, there were no progressive/interesting/unique health-related/environmentally-oriented/socially-minded facts on the company website that was worth posting.
  • Lance continues to use MSG in products
