What You Should Know

You'd spot this 8 oz Tzatziki in the refrigerated dip/deli section or on a restaurant-style grab-and-go shelf — an easy addition to veggies, pita, or a sandwich. It reads fresh and comforting with a creamy, herby Mediterranean vibe, but the presence of milk protein concentrate, tapioca starch and pectin indicates industrial processing that smooths texture and extends stability.
