What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the condiments or specialty dressing aisle (or chilled in the fridge) and pull it out when you want an easy, creamy dip for wings, veg, or fries. It gives a clean-label, slightly indulgent vibe — earthy avocado oil and tangy pickle relish meet a comforting, mayo-like richness. The ingredient list and additives (tamarind seed gum, citric acid, mushroom extract, concentrated juices) point to an industrially formulated, shelf-stable emulsion: smooth texture and long-lasting stability typical of ultra-processed sauces.
