About GREAT NORTHERN BEANS
Kroger Great Northern Beans are canned, fully cooked white beans from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private-label brand, prepared in a water and salt brine with disodium EDTA as a color-retention additive. This is the standard Kroger canned bean formulation.
Ingredients include prepared white beans (cooked), water, salt, and disodium EDTA. Disodium EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a chelating agent that binds metal ions, preventing enzymatic browning and color degradation in canned vegetables. It is FDA-approved for use in canned beans and other foods at concentrations up to 145 ppm. Some consumer advocates have raised concerns about EDTA's heavy metal chelation effects in the body at higher exposure levels, though the small amount contributing from a single serving is generally considered within safe ranges.
The use of 'prepared white beans' rather than 'Great Northern beans' in the ingredient declaration is a labeling flexibility — both refer to the same product. The beans are pre-soaked, cooked, and retort-processed in the sealed can for shelf stability.
A 130-gram serving provides approximately 90 calories, 5.38 grams protein, 12.31 grams carbohydrates, zero fat, and 4.6 grams dietary fiber. No allergens present. Sodium content is moderate from the added salt. Vegan and gluten-free. Ready to use directly from the can after rinsing, which also removes a significant portion of the sodium from the brine.
