Read the labels, stupid. [View all]

That's me, stupid.

I needed to get a few ingredients to make baked beans and a vinaigrette salad dressing. Thought I was a pretty savvy buyer until I got home and discovered:
- The Breanna vinaigrette has sugar added (shouldn't need it if using real balsamic), and xanthan gum (an emulsifier.)
- The "no sugar" ketchup I bought (knowing that tomatoes have lots of sugar) has sucralose instead - UGH
- The Maille Dijon mustard had in very light print on the main label "Honey Mustard". And the first ingredient is sugar.

This happens to me too many times. Am I getting old?
