High Risk Additives

High Fructose Corn Syrup

An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Sodium Benzoate

A preservative used in acidic foods like soda and pickles. When mixed with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), it can form Benzene, a known human carcinogen.

Moderate Caution

Soybean Oil

A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.

Sesame

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Yum yum 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 15/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of High Fructose Corn Syrup. An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 17g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 4 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, Yum yum sauce achieves a CakeID Score of 15/100.

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

Health Recommendations
