What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the salad dressing aisle or on the fridge door — often chosen by shoppers who want an organic, Asian‑inspired dressing to brighten salads, grain bowls, or veggie sides. It gives a wholesome, slightly adventurous vibe with shiitake umami, but the smooth, shelf‑stable texture and ingredients like xanthan gum and soy sauce hint at industrial formulation and processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although made from mostly recognizable organic ingredients, the product is a packaged, shelf‑stable condiment formulated with processed components (soy sauce) and an additive/thickener (xanthan gum), which are hallmarks of ultra‑processed foods (NOVA 4).
