What You Should Know

You'd grab this jar from the salsa/chips section or the refrigerated Mexican foods shelf when assembling tacos, chips for a party, or a quick weeknight meal; it reads like a bright, tangy, chunky salsa with roasted pepper heat. The vibe is wholesome and a bit adventurous—fresh-tasting tomatillo, jalapeño and cilantro rather than sweet or creamy—and the short ingredient list plus simple acidification and salting suggests a lightly processed jarred salsa rather than an industrial ultra‑processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains whole vegetables with added salt and citric acid for preservation; jarred and mildly processed (chopped, acidified) but lacks the long list of industrial additives and formulations typical of NOVA 4, so it fits NOVA 3 (processed food).
