    Hi, does anyone know if this is only for the low sodium or the regular bbq ones too?

    • Amanda

      On the FDA site it states only lightly salted so I think the regular ones are okay.

    In addition to the milk sensitivity issues, you should not be eating processed junk food like this b/c it also has harmful, toxic chemicals. Learn to read ingredients. If you don’t recognize an ingredient, chances are its a chemical. “dead food, dead bodies. Iive food, live bodies”.
