Original Hummus, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this 16 oz tub in the refrigerated prepared foods or deli section, often grabbed for snacks, sandwiches, or party platters. It reads as wholesome and convenient — familiar Mediterranean flavors and a creamy, spreadable texture that feels both healthy and approachable. The short ingredients list (chickpeas, tahini, oil, spices) with small stabilizing additions like citric acid and lemon concentrate suggests industrial blending for smooth texture but not heavy reformulation.

Why this score?
Made from whole chickpeas with added oil, salt, tahini and minor additives (citric acid, lemon concentrate) and sold ready-to-eat; ingredients and processing create a smooth, shelf-stable product but lack the industrial-only substances and complex formulations typical of NOVA 4.
