What You Should Know

You'll find this bottle in the salad dressing aisle or the grab-and-go refrigerated section at Whole Foods, pulled out for weekend brunches, quick lunch salads, or to brighten a picnic. The package reads wholesome and slightly indulgent — organic ingredients and a fruity balsamic note create a gourmet, feel-good vibe. However, ingredients like xanthan gum, concentrated juices, cane sugar and "natural flavor" indicate industrial processing to stabilize texture, sweetness and shelf life, consistent with a highly processed product.
