Product Breakdown: Jimmy Dean Honey Wheat Flatbread

I’m one for looking at the nutrition facts when I grocery shop.  Even more so on items whose packaging appears “HEALTHY”.  The other day, I came across a new frozen breakfast by Jimmy Dean Delights. How can you not be attracted to the large 250 calories label  or how about the honey wheat flatbread with turkey sausage?


Well, once you look at the nutrition facts on the box, all of the “healthy” packaging is just that – packaging.  Just one sandwich boasted a whopping 52% in cholesterol!  That’s over half of the daily recommended allowance for cholesterol.  Talk about your heart.  Then, if you get past the sodium and the saturated fat, you can then, pick your jaw up from the grocery aisle floor.  Don’t be fooled by the packaging claims when you’re out grocery shopping.  Take the time to read the facts.

Do yourself and your body a favor...read the facts!
