Haechandle Gochujang Korean Fermented Chili Sauce scores 34/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Haechandle Gochujang Korean Fermented Chili Sauce lists 8 ingredients, starting with Rice, Non-gmo Corn Syrup, Red Chili Pepper (Powdered), Water and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
