Analysis updated July 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This buffalo sauce contains a moderate level of processing with ingredients like vinegar and aged peppers, which are generally acceptable. However, the presence of sodium benzoate as a preservative raises health concerns due to its potential to form harmful compounds. The use of xanthan gum as a thickener also contributes to the processing level, limiting the score despite the absence of seed oils or artificial dyes.
