Ingredients (12)

Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Mustard Seed (safe) — The whole-food heart of the condiment - provides the pungency and most nutrients.
honey (moderate) — A pure natural sweetener - roughly 80% sugars; clean but calorically dense, use sparingly.
White wine and distilled vinegars (safe) — Standard acidifiers, harmless.
wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
Olive and soybean oils (moderate) — Soybean oil is a refined seed oil; high in omega-6.
Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Industrial thickener.
citric acid (safe) — Acidity and tartness adjuster.
Garlic, ginger, spices, turmeric, paprika (safe) — Real spices; the only genuinely good part of the list.
Artificial and natural flavors (caution) — Undisclosed flavor chemistry standing in for fruit.
calcium disodium edta (moderate) — Preservative that binds metals to protect quality; a processed-food additive but used in tiny amounts.
annatto (safe) — Natural plant-based coloring, the least concerning additive here.
