- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Ken’s Buffalo Wing Sauce presents a concerning list of ingredients for those seeking cleaner food options. The sauce is not organic and includes genetically modified organisms (GMOs), factors that significantly reduce its standing on our scale. The inclusion of multiple forms of added sugars, such as molasses, sugar, and particularly harmful corn syrup, further diminishes its rating.
The product contains a variety of potentially harmful additives. These include natural and artificial flavors, soy lecithin, and caramel color, each contributing to the low score. Sodium benzoate, a preservative known to be harmful, is also present in the sauce. This ingredient, along with artificial flavors and caramel color, are of particular concern due to their negative health implications.
Additionally, the sauce is made with soybean oil, which is considered a harmful oil in our evaluation criteria. The presence of high fructose corn syrup, listed under artificial flavors, is another significant factor leading to the deduction of points, given its association with various health issues.
Ken’s Buffalo Wing Sauce, therefore, receives the lowest possible rating on our scale. The product’s composition reflects a range of ingredients that are at odds with the goal of promoting cleaner, healthier food choices. Consumers are advised to seek alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude harmful additives and sugars. The score of 1/5 green leaves underscores the product’s alignment with less desirable food options within the market, and it falls short of the standards for those aiming to consume cleaner, more wholesome foods.
