The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label provided by Lay’s.

Fat

Each serving of the dip has 6 grams of total fat. That’s approximately 10% of the FDA-recommended limit for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Keep in mind, of course, that the nutrition facts are based on a measured serving weight – not by how much we eat in each meal served. So, if you eat more than two tablespoons, the amount of fat increases proportionately.

One serving of jalapeno dip contains 6g total fat.

Sodium

In addition to the amount of fat in this condiment, please take note of the amount of sodium. One serving has 170 milligrams of sodium.

Again, if you eat more (or less) than two tablespoons, then you can adjust the approximate quantity of sodium accordingly.

Here is the list of ingredients used to make the Jalapeno Dip.

Water, Sunflower Oil and/or Canola Oil, Jalapeno Peppers, Whey Protein Concentrate, Onions, Modified Corn Starch, Salt, Sugar, Natural Flavors, Lime Juice, Garlic, DATEM, Mono- and Diglycerides, Lactic Acid, Cilantro, Xanthan Gum, Vinegar, and Monosodium Glutamate.

What are These Ingredients?

Some of the ingredients used in this dip are easy to find in nearly any supermarket. Water, that’s obvious. I know where to find onions, canola oil, jalapeno peppers, or the seasoning.

But, a couple of these ingredients are a little less common. You may have never even heard of Xanthan Gum or DATEM.

When I review ingredients in packaged foods, many of the hard-to-pronounce items are used to extend shelf life, as an emulsifier, or to enhance flavors.

Here are brief explanations of a few less well-known ingredients in the Creamy Jalapeno Dip.

DATEM is primarily derived from plant sources and used as an emulsifier in baking to strengthen the gluten network in dough. The acronym stands for Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Monoglycerides.
A Lactic Acid starter is an organic acid that aids in the fermentation process and is generally used to help maintain flavor in foods.
Mono and Diglycerides are fatty acids act as surfactants and are commonly used as emulsifiers in processed food.
Monosodium Glutamate, the sodium salt of amino acid glutamic acid, occurs naturally in many foods. It’s produced by the fermentation of starch, sugar beets, sugar cane or molasses.
Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide used in the food industry as an emulsifier, thickening agent, and stabilizer.
