VEGETABLE BROTH
Summary
This vegetable broth contains mostly organic ingredients, which are beneficial for health due to their lack of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. However, the presence of organic expeller pressed canola oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern as it can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the overall clean ingredient list.
