Ingredient Score:
Our green leaf rating for Ken’s Signature Green Chili Aioli is 1/5, signaling that this product falls short of our clean food standards. The aioli is not organic, and it includes genetically modified ingredients. The presence of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid, detracts further from its score. The ingredient list reveals a number of additives that raise concerns, including natural flavors, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and calcium disodium EDTA. Sodium benzoate, a known harmful preservative, is also a component of this product. Soybean oil, identified as a harmful oil, is used as the base of the aioli.
The product contains soybean oil, which is often highly processed and may contribute to inflammation. The distilled vinegar and egg yolk are standard aioli ingredients, however, the inclusion of fire-roasted serrano pepper puree, poblano pepper, and jalapeno pepper indicates an attempt to create a robust flavor profile. The product also includes other common flavoring agents such as garlic, onion, mustard flour, and spice, which are typically found in similar condiments.
The use of preservatives like potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate extends shelf life but at the cost of clean food integrity. These chemicals have been linked to health concerns and are undesirable in a product aiming for a cleaner label. The artificial smoke flavor and colorants like oleoresin paprika, although common in commercial food products, are unnecessary and detract from the product’s natural quality.
For consumers seeking cleaner food options, this aioli does not meet the criteria set forth by our rigorous standards. The product’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, and the inclusion of various additives and harmful oils, lead to its low rating. The goal of providing cleaner, healthier food choices means that Ken’s Signature Green Chili Aioli is not recommended based on our evaluation criteria. Customers who prioritize clean eating should consider alternative options that align more closely with their dietary values.
