Brand: H-E-B

Munch or Dump rates That Green Sauce (Medium) by H-E-B OKAY — score 58/90.

A creamy Texas dip built on a real-food base of jalapeños, poblanos, green tomatoes and sour cream, with olive and canola oil for richness. It gets pulled toward the middle by a small processed chicken base carrying maltodextrin and yeast extract, plus xanthan and guar gums for texture. Genuine ingredients with a light industrial finish, so fine in moderation.

Why this verdict

Real-food base: jalapeños, poblanos, green tomatoes and sour cream lead the list
Extra virgin olive oil and canola oil supply the fat
Offset by a processed chicken base with maltodextrin and yeast extract
Two thickening gums (xanthan plus guar) do the texture work
Mixed quality overall: genuine ingredients plus a light additive stack
