Summary

This product contains a simple ingredient list with aged red cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, and salt, which are generally acceptable. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of xanthan gum, an additive that can cause digestive issues in some individuals. The high level of processing limits its score despite the absence of more harmful ingredients like artificial colors or high-fructose corn syrup.
