What You Should Know

You’d spot this jar tucked in the organic condiments aisle or reaching for it at a backyard grill — an organic take on a classic Texas barbecue sauce. It reads wholesome and nostalgic (think late‑summer cookouts), but the smooth texture and long ingredient list with stabilizers and flavorings hint at industrial processing rather than a single‑ingredient homemade sauce.
