What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the baking or dessert-toppings aisle or next to ice cream and coffee syrups, ready to be spooned over sundaes, pancakes or stirred into lattes. It evokes an indulgent, nostalgic treat — quick, comforting caramel without the fuss of making it from scratch. The glossy uniform texture, multiple syrups and listed 'natural flavours' signal industrial formulation and processing that create long shelf life and consistent sweetness.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The ingredient list features refined sugars, tapioca and caramel syrups plus 'natural flavours' and is sold as a ready-to-use sweet sauce — hallmarks of ultra-processed foods. Industrial processing produces the smooth texture, extended shelf life and flavour formulations not typically made at home.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Salted Caramel Sauce, 15.8 Ounce

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a slippery slope! This caramel sauce is organic and contains no artificial ingredients, which is a plus. However, it does pack in 45 grams of sugar per serving, so it's definitely more of an indulgence than a health food. Think of it as a treat to enjoy in moderation!
