📊 Nutrition at a Glance
⚠️ Moderate Sodium

Flavor variants in a product family share the base profile, and the oxalate table follows the base more than the flavoring. Tomato Juice measures 12 mg per serving, in the middle of the family range. The useful reading is the family spread: if the range is narrow, flavor choice is free; if it is wide, the flavor with the lower measured value is the easy win. Related forms in this family: Apricot Nectar Juice (11 mg), Carrot Juice (23 mg), Plum Juice (9 mg).
