Ingredients
10 listed · 5 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Water (Solvent/Base)
Serves as the primary liquid base with zero calories or nutritional contribution; completely inert and safe for all consumers with no positive or negative health effects.
- Vinegar (Acidifier/Preservative)
Delivers signature tang and helps preserve the product; minor potential digestive benefits in small doses but may irritate stomach lining or erode enamel if overconsumed.
- Apple Puree (Flavoring/Natural Sweetener)Beneficial
Contributes natural fruit sugars, pectin and trace antioxidants; beneficial in providing some fruit-derived nutrients and milder sweetness than refined sugars.
- Onion (Flavoring)Beneficial
Adds depth with natural sulfur compounds and antioxidants like quercetin; beneficial for potential anti-inflammatory and heart health support even in small amounts.
- Sugar (Sweetener)Caution
Refined added sugar increases glycemic load and empty calories; linked to risks of obesity, insulin resistance, tooth decay and metabolic disorders with frequent use.
- Salt (Seasoning)Caution
Essential for flavor but significantly elevates sodium levels; caution advised as high intake is associated with hypertension, fluid retention and cardiovascular strain.
- Garlic (Flavoring)Beneficial
Provides allicin and organosulfur compounds with immune and cardiovascular benefits; a beneficial ingredient that supports overall health in the included amounts.
- Caramel Color (Coloring Agent)Caution
Synthetic color additive to achieve dark hue; some variants contain 4-MEI with potential carcinogenic concerns in large doses, though typical exposure here is low.
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (Flavor Enhancer)Caution
Boosts umami but derived from soy, a top allergen; processing can increase free glutamates, posing risks for allergic reactions or sensitivity.
- Monosodium Glutamate (Flavor Enhancer)Caution
Intensifies savory notes but may cause headaches, nausea or flushing in sensitive individuals; ongoing debate regarding neurological and long-term effects.
