About this food

In a CKD diet, Meat & Protein deserve attention: Liver cheese - Animal proteins tend to be higher in phosphorus, and animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80% versus 30-50% for plants. Choosing low-phosphorus proteins such as egg whites or tofu, or controlling portions of red meat, is a common CKD approach.

Nutrient insight

Liver cheese's sodium (61%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
