Health Integrity Analysis

Is General Tso Sauce truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 30/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Autolyzed Yeast. Yeast cells that have broken themselves down. Another common label for hidden MSG used to boost savory flavor. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 47g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 12 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, General Tso Sauce achieves a CakeID Score of 30/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.

Health Recommendations

Sodium Watch

Contains 3.0g salt/100g. Drink water.

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
