What You Should Know

You'd spot a bottle of CHOLULA Original in the condiment aisle or on the table at taco night — an easy, zesty topper for eggs, sandwiches and snacks that many people know from casual, comfort-food moments. Although the ingredient list is short, the use of powdered seasonings and xanthan gum for stability and texture points to industrial processing characteristics often associated with NOVA 4 ultra‑processed products.
