Süss-Sauer-Sauce

The product is a pineapple‑enhanced sweet‑and‑sour sauce marketed under the Ben’s Original brand, belonging to the “Fat and sauces” and “Dressings and sauces” PNNS groups. It carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is classified in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its low fat (0.5 g per 100 g) and low salt (0.4 g) but relatively high sugar (13 g) and modest fiber (0.7 g). While it provides a modest amount of protein (0.5 g) and contains a notable share of fruit and vegetable content (≈43 % from pineapple, tomatoes, carrots and peppers), the product includes added sugars, modified corn starch and a food colour, which may be concerns for health‑conscious consumers.
