Ingredients (7)
- DISTILLED VINEGAR (safe) — Simple acid that preserves the sauce naturally and adds tang; no health downside in these amounts.
- JALAPENO PEPPER (safe) — Real whole-food chili pepper; brings flavor, capsaicin, and a bit of vitamin C.
- Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
- cornstarch (safe) — Trace amount used as a thickener; minimal nutritional impact.
- Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Another stabilizer stacked on guar; emulsifier load is associated with gut-lining irritation.
- ascorbic acid (safe) — Vitamin C, used to preserve freshness; benign and even mildly beneficial.
