What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the pasta and canned-tomato aisle or reach for it when you want a quick weeknight pasta, pizza base, or simmer sauce — a convenient pantry staple for busy evenings. It gives a wholesome, comforting vibe, evoking simple homemade marinara without the time commitment. The short, recognizable ingredient list (whole tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, a touch of citric acid) and simple thermal/pureeing processing suggest a packaged processed sauce rather than a highly industrial product, consistent with a mid-level NOVA classification.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are primarily whole/minimally processed foods (tomatoes, olive oil, herbs) with minimal additives (citric acid, salt). This points to a processed packaged product (NOVA 3) rather than an ultra-processed formulation with industrial additives and flavor enhancers.
