It contains 21 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has no antinutrients like peas, lentils, or potatoes (which is great, because these ingredients may interfere the absorption of vital nutrients), and it has 7 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Natural Flavors. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.
