What You Should Know

A jar you’d spot in the refrigerated salsa wall or condiment aisle, grabbed for taco nights, chips-and-dip at gatherings, or to brighten weeknight dinners. It gives a fresh, zesty and approachable vibe — like a quick homemade touch without the work — and the ingredient list (whole tomatoes, peppers, onion, vinegar, citric acid) suggests a canned/bottled, shelf-stable product with minimal industrial additives rather than an ultra-processed formulation.
