Review of 'Glutino' Pretzel Sticks

Glutino -- Pretzel Sticks (vegan)
Overall Rating: 2.5/5
Summary: super crunchy, perfectly salted, and low-calorie! I'd say it tastes great...but I wouldn't recommend this product nor would I buy it again. It offers next to no nutritional benefit (empty calories) and uses GMO ingredients along with palm oil (linked to deforestation in tropical countries).

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Metro, Superstore, Fortinos

The nutritional profile is just not good...it doesn't offer much nutrition. Nearly no protein and fiber and high in sodium. The ingredients aren't much better...corn syrup solids (likely GMO), palm oil (linked to deforestation in tropical countries)...pass.
