Health Integrity Analysis
Is Hoisin 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 50/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.
⚠️ Moderate Caution
While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Sesame. Recently added as the 9th Major Allergen in the US. Sesame is often hidden in 'natural flavors' or spice blends, making it dangerous for allergic individuals. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.
The Sugar Reality Check
This product contains 39g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 10 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, Hoisin Sauce achieves a CakeID Score of 50/100.
