About this food
About Cookies: Grains and starches are usually relatively low in potassium and phosphorus, making them a sensible base for a CKD diet. Watch whole-grain and some processed grain products, which can carry more phosphorus. As a Grains & Starches item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.
Nutrient insight
Cookies's sodium is the top contributor (31% of its limit). Sodium drives blood pressure and swelling, and most CKD patients limit it - watch hidden sodium in sauces and cured products.
