What You Should Know

You'd find this jar tucked in the pasta sauce aisle or stocked in a pantry — the kind of staple you grab for quick weeknight dinners or simple Sunday meal-prep. It gives a wholesome, comforting vibe with bright crushed-tomato texture and familiar basil and garlic notes that feel slightly nostalgic. The short organic ingredient list and crushed texture indicate basic cooking and bottling rather than industrial reformulation, so it reads as a processed pantry product rather than an ultra-processed one.

Processed Food

Why this score?
