What You Should Know

You'd spot this small 4.5 oz jar in the specialty jams and condiments aisle or on a charcuterie board at a backyard cookout — a spicy-sweet accent for tacos, cheeses, or grilled meats. The vibe is artisanal and adventurous with a touch of indulgence; the spreadable texture comes from cane sugar and fruit pectin, and the short ingredient list (roasted hatch chiles, sugar, vinegar, tequila, pectin) signals a preserved, processed product made from recognizable ingredients rather than a heavily formulated ultraprocessed food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole roasted chiles plus cane sugar, cider vinegar, tequila, and pectin to create a spreadable preserve — processing and added sugar place it in NOVA 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed, since there are no industrial additives or novel ingredients.
