The catch

Still has 3g sugar per serving from dates and figs (naturally occurring), and comes in a small 8.5oz bottle at a premium price. (source)

The honest take

No cane sugar or artificial sweeteners and 0g added sugar; only about 20 calories per 2 Tbsp serving. USDA organic and Whole30 Approved. The label reads 20 calories, 4g carbs, 0g fat, 3g sugar, 105mg sodium per 2 Tbsp (31g).

Here is the tradeoff. Still has 3g sugar per serving from dates and figs (naturally occurring), and comes in a small 8.5oz bottle at a premium price. Skip it if you want a thick, sweet classic BBQ flavor or a large-value bottle.
