What the Data Says About gulten free sesame garlic sauce
gulten free sesame garlic sauce by The Fresh Market carries a composite safety score of 100/100, which we classify as "Safe" on our four-tier shelf-label framework.
Of the 17 ingredients parsed from this label, 3 are covered by a regulator or watchdog we screen against (Garlic, Sugar, Salt), with 1 carrying an FDA Substances Added to Food (SAFFA) status and 2 a CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating. The remaining 14 ingredients appear in neither registry, so they neither raise nor lower the score. Each additive rated caution-or-worse penalizes the composite. Product data originates from the OpenFoodFacts collaborative catalog; safety annotations come from federal regulators and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This score is a transparent derived index we compute from that public data, not an official FDA rating or endorsement; see the Methodology page for the exact weighting.
Our scan did not identify any ingredients in this product that FDA SAFFA or CSPI Chemical Cuisine data flags as requiring caution or avoidance at the time of analysis. That is a meaningful clean-label signal, though it does not account for personal allergens, regional recalls, or inspection findings not reflected in federal additive databases. The per-ingredient breakdown below shows the source-level classification for each component.
A NOVA processing classification is not available for this product in the OpenFoodFacts snapshot we use. NOVA captures processing intensity separately from additive safety, and where both are available the combined view is more informative than either alone for households tracking ultra-processed food intake or ingredient-level exposure.
