What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the salsa aisle or on a party snack table—perfect for taco night, game day, or a last-minute appetizer with chips. It gives a bright, zesty and wholesome vibe: fresh-tasting diced tomatoes and peppers with a simple, convenient ingredient list. The uniform texture and presence of acidity regulators like vinegar and citric acid point to a lightly processed, shelf-stable product rather than a homemade raw salsa.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made primarily from whole ingredients (tomatoes, peppers, onion, cilantro) with minimal additives (vinegar, citric acid) and preserved for shelf stability, this fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed foods which contain industrial formulations and many additives.
