Hi @wiseowl_123

Phosphorus is a mineral our bodies need, so there shouldnt be any problem eating those

Here's some general information:

Hi,

As @azure says, our bodies need phosphorus, so it is a useful nutrient to have in our diets.
Can you see the little 5% RI underneath the 32.8mg in the Per Oatcake column?

The RI means 'recommended Intake. So one of those oatcakes gives you 5% of your daily recommended intake of Phosphorus, and 15.1% of your daily intake of Manganese.

Hope that helps.
