What You Should Know

You'd find this jar in the baking/dessert sauce aisle or specialty organic section at Whole Foods — an easy grab for topping ice cream, pancakes or coffee. It reads indulgent and nostalgic, but its glossy, shelf-stable texture and ingredient list (multiple concentrated syrups and “natural flavours”) point to a highly formulated product typical of ultra-processed foods.

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!
