Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce scores 62/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar, Chipotle, Guajillo and Arbol & Piquin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 62/100 Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce lands mid-scale — below the typical score in hot sauce, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in hot sauce is Louisiana Original Hot Sauce at 95/100.
