Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: because it is so salty (like many Worthington products), I recommend using this to add to unsalted cooked veggies. The texture is soft, not chewy like I anticipated and pretty simple. I wouldn't recommend this product because of the ingredients that are still up for discussion in terms of healthfulness (see below).

The soy and corn ingredients are not identified as organic or sustainably sourced, so there is a risk that they are from sources that contribute to tropical deforestation and climate change. If you are interested in avoiding this, I'd say this product is not for you. The caramel colour is linked to harmful effects on health.
The nutritional profile is much nicer than the ingredients. It's super low-calorie, super low in fat, and is packed with protein. The major downside is the high sodium.
