Ingredients
4 listed · 3 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Wine Vinegar (Base/Acidifier)Beneficial
Primary tangy fermented component; may support digestion, blood sugar control, and satiety in moderation but high acidity can irritate digestive tract or erode tooth enamel with excessive use.
- Concentrated Grape Must (Sweetener/Thickener)Caution
Provides natural sweetness and viscosity from grapes; supplies minor antioxidants but acts as added sugar raising glycemic load and calorie content.
- Caramel Color (Coloring Agent)Caution
Enhances deep brown appearance; generally safe at low levels but some variants contain 4-MEI with potential carcinogenic concerns in high doses, though minimal here.
- Sulfites (Preservative)Caution
Prevents spoilage and browning; safe for most consumers but poses risks of allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or headaches for sulfite-sensitive people and asthmatics.
