What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the refrigerated salsa or condiments section or on a snack table at a casual taco night or party. It feels bright, zesty and a bit artisanal—evoking homemade summer flavors—while the short ingredient list and chunky texture suggest minimal industrial reformulation; the added olive oil, salt and citric acid indicate it's packaged and preserved rather than raw.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole peppers, garlic, onions and olive oil with added salt and citric acid for shelf stability. The recognizable ingredients and lack of industrial additives mean it's a processed, ready-to-eat product (NOVA 3) rather than ultra-processed.
