What Does Lean Cuisine? Do?

Overview
•Contains wheat ingredients, so it is not suitable for people with wheat allergy or celiac disease.
•Sodium is high at 310 mg per serving, which may matter for sodium-restricted diets.
•Includes multiple additives and preservatives such as MSG, sodium diacetate, caramel color, and BHT, which may bother sensitive individuals.
•Contains barley malt extract and Worcestershire sauce ingredients, which may be unsuitable for strict gluten avoidance.
•Not a supplement; this is a prepared food, so the nutrient profile is modest and not designed for therapeutic dosing.
