GFA Evaluation

How this product scored against the Good Food Standard

Good

Sichuan-style chili oil condiment made with Sichuan peppercorns, chili, fermented black bean paste, and aromatics. Non-GMO. Gluten-free (tamari-based). Umami-forward. No added MSG — glutamates are naturally present from fermented black bean paste.

Clean

Non-GMO. Gluten-free. Ingredients: avocado oil, chilis, onion, tamari, Sichuan peppercorns, black bean paste, spices. No artificial flavours or colours.

Fair

Fly By Jing founded 2019 by Jing Gao (Chengdu). Sichuan peppercorns and chilis sourced from Sichuan province. No third-party Fairtrade certification.

True

'No added MSG' is accurate — umami is derived from naturally occurring glutamates in fermented black bean paste, not added monosodium glutamate. Sichuan peppercorn (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) is not a true pepper; its characteristic numbing sensation (málà) derives from hydroxy-alpha-sanshool, not capsaicin.
