What You Should Know

You'd find this 12.5 fl oz bottle in the salad dressing aisle or refrigerated case, grabbed when you want a quick, ready-made vinaigrette for salads, bowls or sandwiches. It presents a clean, 'wholesome and convenient' vibe, but the presence of xanthan gum and the ready-to-use packaged format point to an emulsified texture and industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed condiments.
