Summary

This chipotle seasoning contains a mix of beneficial spices such as paprika, garlic powder, and chipotle pepper, which are minimally processed and offer antioxidant benefits. However, the presence of dextrose, a simple sugar, and the overall processing level of the product limit its healthiness. The ingredient list is relatively clean, but the inclusion of dextrose and the processed nature of the product prevent it from scoring higher.
