Buffalo Sauce, 8.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this bottle in the condiment aisle or fridge section of a health-focused grocery, ready to grab for wing night, salads, or a spicy sandwich at home. The branding and avocado oil give a wholesome, health-forward vibe, but the smooth, shelf-stable texture and added thickeners (potato starch, tamarind seed gum) point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed sauces.
