Uni-Eagle Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Uni-Eagle Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce by Uni-Eagle OKAY — score 60/90.

Mostly real chili and garlic, but added sugar plus a synthetic preservative and stabilizer keep it from being clean. Used in small amounts, it's a fine condiment.

Why this verdict

• Led by 56% real chili plus garlic
• Added sugar sits high on the list and drives all the carbs
• Contains a synthetic preservative (potassium sorbate)
• Xanthan gum added as a stabilizer
• Short list, used in small amounts, so impact is limited

Ingredients (7)

• Chili (56%) (safe) — Real chili peppers, the dominant ingredient. Capsaicin, vitamins, antioxidants.
• GARLIC (safe) — Whole aromatic; flavor and beneficial plant compounds.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
• DISTILLED VINEGAR (safe) — Plain acid for tang and preservation. Harmless.
• Potassium sorbate (E202) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative; broadly recognized as safe but it's a lab additive, not a whole food.
• Xanthan Gum (E415) (moderate) — Fermented stabilizer for texture; generally well tolerated, can cause gas in large amounts.
