About CARNITAS MEXICAN-INSPIRED COOKING SAUCE, CARNITAS
Good & Gather Carnitas Mexican-Inspired Cooking Sauce is a jarred cooking sauce sold under Target's Good & Gather private-label brand, designed for preparing carnitas-style braised pork or other proteins at home.

Spices add depth. Distilled vinegar provides additional acidity. Paprika contributes color and mild flavor. Orange peel adds aromatic citrus notes. Chipotle pepper provides smoke and heat. Xanthan gum serves as a final thickener and stabilizer. No allergens are declared based on the ingredient list. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used.
