Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.

Costa Vida publishes no sugar or sodium figures anywhere on its nutrition, so the two above are ours rather than theirs — typical figures for italian dressing, 11 g of sugar and 993 mg of sodium per 100 g — while the calories, the macros and the portion are Costa Vida’s own.
