At a glance
Summary
This glaze is moderately processed, containing balsamic vinegar and cooked grape must, which are generally acceptable ingredients. However, the presence of xanthan gum as a thickening agent introduces a level of processing that may cause digestive issues for some individuals. The high sugar content from the grape must also contributes to a less favorable health profile.
