Summary
This spicy Japanese hot BBQ sauce contains beneficial vine-ripened crushed tomatoes, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. However, the presence of modified corn starch and the high level of processing limit its healthfulness. The sauce lacks harmful additives like artificial sweeteners or seed oils, but its processed nature and use of modified ingredients prevent a higher score.
