What You Should Know

You’d spot this jar on the pasta-sauce shelf or in the natural/clean-label aisle, hauled home for an easy weeknight pasta or to dress up roasted veggies. It gives a wholesome, slightly indulgent vibe—like a pantry shortcut that still leans on recognizable, organic ingredients. The smooth, stabilized texture and flavor boosters (starches, gums, yeast extract and acidulants) point to an industrially formulated product rather than a simple homemade sauce.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although many ingredients are whole and organic, the presence of industrial additives (tamarind seed gum, tapioca starch, yeast extract, lactic acid) and concentrated formulations indicate an ultra-processed product designed for stability, texture and intensified flavor.
