The catch

Despite the no added sugar label, it packs 9g of naturally occurring sugar and 40 calories per tablespoon, roughly double a plain balsamic. (source)

The honest take

This is a white balsamic made from just four ingredients, cooked grape must, white wine vinegar, Meyer lemon juice concentrate, and cucumber juice concentrate, with no added sugar and no artificial flavors. The catch health minded shoppers should know is that naturally occurring is not the same as low sugar, since one tablespoon carries 40 calories and 9g of sugar, more than double a plain traditional balsamic. As a bright splash on salads, in marinades, or in a mocktail it is a genuinely clean, flavorful choice with 0mg sodium and 0g fat. Just treat it like a sweet finishing vinegar rather than a free pour if you are watching sugar.
