How we scored it
This sauce contains multiple harmful ingredients such as soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial preservatives, which significantly lower its health score. The presence of these ingredients, combined with a high level of processing, outweighs the benefits of any natural spices or flavors included.
