What You Should Know

You'd spot a jar of CLINTS Medium Salsa on the grocery condiment aisle or open on a party table at a backyard barbecue or game night. It feels fresh, casual, and a little nostalgic—chips, friends, and easy snacking. The ingredient list is mostly whole vegetables with a few processing aids (calcium chloride, citric acid, tomato paste) added for texture and shelf stability, indicating it's processed but not heavily industrially reformulated.
