Just fermented anchovy, salt, water, and a little sugar. Clean four-ingredient list, but it's basically liquid salt, so use it as a seasoning, not a food.

Why this verdict

Only four ingredients, all recognizable, no artificial additives
65% real fermented anchovy doing the work
No MSG, preservatives, or added color
Very high in salt, so strictly a seasoning
Contains a small amount of added sugar

Ingredients (4)

Anchovy (fish) 65% (safe) — Fermented whole anchovy, a real-food protein base that gives the sauce its umami; the main and dominant ingredient.
Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
