How scores work

Per

Calories: 80
Protein: (15%); 3 g
Fat: (40%); 4 g
Carbohydrates: (45%); 9 g
of which sugar: 5 g
Fiber: 0 g
Sodium: 223 mg

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 baked beans, 8.2 g of sugar and 391 mg of sodium per 100 g — while the calories, the macros and the portion are Costa Vida’s own.
