Is Your Food Really Clean? The Hidden Nasties in Regular Sauces (And What We Do Differently)

12 February, 2025

At Not Guilty, we believe in sauces that are as clean as they are delicious. But before we dive into what makes our sauces different, let’s uncover the hidden nasties in regular sauces.

Common “Hidden Nasties” in Regular Sauces

❌ Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate – These preservatives extend shelf life but may disrupt gut health and cause unwanted chemical interactions in the body.

❌ Artificial Colors & Flavors – Many sauces use synthetic dyes like Red 40 or Yellow 5 to make their product look more vibrant. But these do nothing for taste and have been linked to health concerns over time.

❌ Corn Syrup & Hidden Sugars – Sugar isn’t always labeled as “sugar.” Watch out for glucose-fructose syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, and high-fructose corn syrup—all of which are sneaky ways to add unnecessary sweetness and empty calories to your food.

❌ Excessive Sodium – Many store-bought sauces contain excessive salt to enhance flavor artificially. This can lead to water retention, high blood pressure, and bloating.

What We Do Differently with Not Guilty Sauces

At Lucrative Impex, we ditch the fake stuff and use:

✔ Real, high-quality ingredients – Our sauces are made with fresh, natural, and minimally processed ingredients that don’t need artificial preservatives to stay fresh.

✔ Smart pH balancing & natural preservation techniques – Instead of harmful chemicals, we use natural acids (like vinegar and lemon juice) to ensure our sauces stay safe without compromising your health.

✔ Minimal processing for maximum flavor – No over-processing, no artificial flavors—just the real deal.

Because you deserve sauces that are as clean as they are delicious. And with Not Guilty, you can finally enjoy every dip, drizzle, and bite—without feeling guilty!

Next time you’re buying a sauce, flip the bottle and read the ingredients! Or better yet, choose Not Guilty—because when it comes to your health, you should never have to compromise.
