What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the salad dressing aisle or refrigerated specialty section at Whole Foods, pulled out for a quick weeknight salad, a light brunch, or to dress a prepared grain bowl. It gives an organic, herby and wholesome vibe, but the smooth, stable pour and ingredients like xanthan gum and lemon juice concentrate reveal an industrially formulated dressing—characteristics associated with ultra-processed products.
