What You Should Know

You’d spot this bottle in the organic/condiments aisle or on a grab-and-go shelf before a backyard cookout or game-day spread — it reads as an organic, all-American barbecue staple that evokes nostalgic summer grilling. Although marketed organic and made from recognizable ingredients like tomato puree, brown sugar and spices, the smooth texture and long shelf life come from added stabilizers and flavorings (xanthan gum, cornstarch, natural smoke flavor), pointing to industrial formulation typical of ultra-processed condiments.
