What You Should Know

You'd spot this small bottle in the grilling or condiments aisle or reach for it before a backyard BBQ or weeknight smoked dish; it's a concentrated way to add campfire flavor without lighting a fire. The vibe is nostalgic and practical—evoking smoky summer cookouts while being convenient for everyday cooking. The short ingredient list includes industrially produced smoke flavor and additives (caramel color), which signals a manufactured flavoring concentrate rather than a whole food, consistent with ultra-processed formulations.
