What You Should Know

This jar of Smoky Chipotle Hot Salsa sits in the condiments/salsa aisle or on the fridge door and is the easy grab for game-day chips, tacos, or a quick weeknight flavor boost. Its smoky, tangy vibe feels adventurous and convenient; the short ingredient list and jarred form point to a processed pantry staple (added salt and sugar for flavor and shelf stability) rather than a highly industrial ultra-processed product.
