What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the condiments aisle or in a pantry next to ketchup and soy sauce, and it shows up when you're making marinades, Bloody Marys, or adding a hit of umami to a weeknight dinner. The vibe is classic and slightly nostalgic—a small, savory shortcut that promises deep flavor rather than freshness. Its thin, concentrated texture and ingredients list (added sugars/molasses, vinegar, extracts and "natural flavorings") point to an industrially blended condiment with processed flavoring steps consistent with ultra-processed products.
