Sir Kensington

This product earns a 3/5 green leaves rating. The Sir Kensington Moroccan-inspired Garlic Everything Sauce is a middle-of-the-road choice for consumers seeking cleaner food options. The sauce is not organic, which detracts from its overall score. It does, however, use non-GMO ingredients, aligning with preferences for natural food sourcing.

The ingredient list reveals the inclusion of added sugars, specifically fair trade organic coconut sugar, which reduces its score due to the commitment to offering lower sugar options. Furthermore, the presence of xanthan gum, a common food additive, further impacts the score negatively. While xanthan gum is widely used as a thickening agent, its inclusion here is at odds with the goal of providing products free from potentially harmful additives.

The product has several positive attributes, such as high oleic sunflower oil, which is a source of healthier fats. It also contains preserved lemons and a range of spices, including ras el hanout and pink peppercorns, which contribute to its unique flavor profile. The use of organic certified humane free-range egg yolks reflects a commitment to animal welfare and quality ingredients.

The sauce is marked by its combination of health-conscious choices and areas where improvement is possible. The use of non-GMO ingredients and healthier fats is commendable. However, the addition of sugars and xanthan gum suggests that there is room for enhancement to meet the highest standards of clean eating.

Consumers who prioritize non-GMO ingredients and ethical sourcing may find this product acceptable, yet those who strictly avoid added sugars and certain food additives may wish to consider other options. The 3/5 green leaves rating acknowledges the product’s strengths while also recognizing its shortcomings in the pursuit of the cleanest food choices available.
