What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the condiments aisle or perched on the fridge door — the handy spicy boost for tacos, eggs, wings, and snacks. It feels bold and adventurous yet practical and convenient, an easy way to brighten everyday meals. While it contains whole ingredients like dried arbol and piquin chiles, garlic, vinegar and salt, the presence of xanthan gum and "natural flavors" and industrial processing for consistent texture and shelf stability point toward an ultraprocessed condiment.
