What You Should Know

You’d spot this bottle in the salad dressing aisle or refrigerated prepared foods section at Whole Foods and pull it for a quick gourmet-style salad at brunch or a weeknight dinner. It gives a wholesome, slightly indulgent artisanal vibe — fruity and tangy — but its smooth, stable texture and long shelf life reflect added thickeners and concentrated ingredients. The presence of xanthan gum, juice concentrates and ‘natural flavor’ hint at industrial processing even though the ingredients are organic.
