What You Should Know

You'd grab this bottle from the condiments aisle or reach for it in the pantry when making marinades, dressings, or boosting the umami in weeknight meals. The organic label and spice blend give a practical, slightly wholesome pantry-staple vibe, but the smooth, shelf-stable texture and added ingredients hint at industrial formulation. Ingredients like xanthan gum and caramel color and the concentrated, long‑shelf formulation point to significant processing despite mostly recognizable organic components.
