About this food

About Frostings: Snacks and sweets are mostly processed foods that often contain inorganic phosphorus additives (the most absorbable kind) and added sugar, making them a high-caution category in CKD. As a Snacks & Sweets item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

Frostings's potassium is the top contributor (9% of its limit), so its potassium density deserves attention. In CKD stage 3-4 the kidneys clear potassium less well - control portions, and peeling, slicing or boiling can help.
