About BUTTER CHICKEN SIMMER SAUCE WITH CREAM, GARLIC, GINGER, BUTTER & SPICES, BUTTER CHICKEN
Archer Farms Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce is a jarred Indian-inspired cooking sauce from Target's legacy Archer Farms specialty food brand, providing a cream and tomato-based sauce seasoned with ginger, garlic, and traditional Indian spice blends at approximately 117 calories per serving. The sauce is intended for home preparation of butter chicken, a widely popular North Indian dish, by simmering cut chicken pieces in the sauce until fully cooked. The Archer Farms formulation includes carrageenan as a stabilizer and polysorbate 80 as an emulsifier, which are functional additives used to maintain texture and prevent separation during shelf storage.
Carrageenan is a seaweed-derived thickener and gelling agent used in dairy and dairy-alternative products, though it has been subject to ongoing consumer scrutiny regarding potential digestive effects in sensitive individuals. Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic emulsifier commonly used in processed sauces and ice cream to maintain smooth texture. These additives are absent from the companion Good & Gather Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce (USDA ID 1526928), which represents a reformulated version of the same product concept under the newer brand. Milk allergens are present via the cream component. The sauce contains no HFCS and no artificial colorants. As part of the Archer Farms legacy lineup, this product has been progressively displaced by Good & Gather equivalents since 2019 and may no longer be actively stocked at Target retail locations. Consumers seeking a cleaner additive profile may prefer the Good & Gather version.
