CALIFORNIA GOLDEN RAISINS
Summary
California Golden Raisins are a natural source of sugars and fiber, but the addition of sulfur dioxide as a preservative introduces a synthetic element that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. While the product is processed, it maintains a relatively clean ingredient list with only one additive, which helps to moderate the impact of its processing level on the overall score.
