Crispy Chili oil

Crispy Chili oil is a plant‑based hot sauce made primarily from soybean oil, chili pepper, onion and fermented soy, and is marketed as a vegetarian condiment. It belongs to the "Fat and sauces" PNNS group, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as NOVA 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature and high levels of fat (71 g/100 g), saturated fat (11.7 g/100 g) and salt (2.9 g/100 g), though it provides modest fiber (8 g/100 g) and low sugars. While it delivers a strong chili flavor and can be used sparingly to add heat, consumers should be aware of its calorie density (≈593 kcal/100 g) and the presence of the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (E621) and soy, which may be unsuitable for low‑fat or soy‑allergic diets.
