How this compares with published guidance
200 mg or more At 380 mg potassium per serving, this is at or above the 200 mg line that the National Kidney Foundation (Potassium in Your CKD Diet, updated May 5, 2023) generally calls high potassium per serving.
The 200 mg line applies to a serving, and the serving here is the USDA household portion listed above, which may not match the serving size used on other lists. NKF gives no daily potassium target. Your own limit comes from your care team.
Phosphorus. NKF (Phosphorus and Your CKD Diet) gives no per-serving cutoff, so no label is applied to 233 mg. See where it sits on the phosphorus ranking.
Processed or packaged item. Products of this kind can differ from this USDA reference value, and phosphorus additives may add phosphorus that a generic value does not show. NKF says additive phosphorus is completely absorbed and advises checking ingredient lists for additives with "phos" in the name. Check the label of the product you buy.
