Buffalo Sauce

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Whataburger Buffalo Sauce scores 22/100 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.

Whataburger Buffalo Sauce lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Aged Red Cayenne Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Salt and Soybean Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Whataburger Buffalo Sauce scores worse than most hot sauce we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hot sauce is Louisiana Original Hot Sauce at 95/100.
