Summary
This sauce contains aged red cayenne peppers, which are beneficial due to their natural capsaicin content. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of xanthan gum, a common thickening agent, and the overall processing level. The use of distilled vinegar and salt is typical for sauces, but the ultra-processing cap limits its score despite the relatively clean ingredient list.
