Summary

This seasoning blend contains beneficial ingredients like sea salt and dehydrated garlic, which are minimally processed and retain natural nutrients. However, the inclusion of sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential to promote inflammation and its industrial extraction process. The overall processing level is moderate, but the presence of sunflower oil prevents a higher score.
