What You Should Know

You'd find this bottle tucked in the salad dressing/condiments aisle (or in the fridge section) — a pantry-friendly, organic-labeled Italian vinaigrette for quick salads, sandwiches, or marinades. It presents a wholesome, convenient vibe but uses refined oils, added sugar and an emulsifier (xanthan gum) to achieve a smooth, stable texture, which are clues to more industrialized processing.
