Summary
This lemon pepper seasoning contains beneficial ingredients like black pepper, dehydrated garlic, and turmeric, which offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the presence of refined cane sugar and sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from its healthfulness. The product is processed, which limits its score, and the inclusion of sunflower oil raises concerns about potential inflammation.
