the first three of these were among the first solid foods consumed by
the utterly adorable opal eleanor armstrong zwicky.  as i recall, no
salt or sugar beyond what's in the raw ingredients to start with, and
no wheat flour.  opal was especially fond of the Veggie version,
because of the broccoli, we think.  now she has lots of teeth and takes
her broccoli raw and straight.

i'd never heard of the products before then.  now i discover that my
grad students snack on them (when they can refrain from descending into
chocolate).
