Summary

This dark chili powder contains beneficial ingredients like chili pepper and garlic, which are known for their health benefits and minimal processing. However, the presence of silicon dioxide, a common anti-caking agent, indicates a moderate level of processing. Despite this, the product maintains a relatively clean ingredient list without harmful additives, which supports a higher score within its category.
