Is Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus GERD Friendly?

Description
Bright, smoky-sweet flavor with a mild tang and a predominantly creamy, velvety texture; some reviewers note occasional small chunks. Commonly used as a dip for crackers, vegetables, or pita, and as a sandwich spread or appetizer. Reviews mention consistent flavor, good spreadability, and occasional packaging inconsistency.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- dried garlic
- distilled white vinegar
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.
