What You Should Know

You might grab this jarmed chipotle‑garlic salsa from the condiment aisle or near specialty sauces when planning chips for a game night or a quick weeknight taco. It gives a smoky, slightly spicy and homemade vibe — bright and adventurous but convenient — with a chunky yet saucy texture from tomato paste, purees and roasted tomato pieces. The ingredient list shows mostly recognizable items and culinary additives (vinegar, lime concentrate, a stabilizer), suggesting commercial preservation and texture control rather than heavy industrial reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole vegetable ingredients plus culinary additives (vinegar, salt, lime concentrate, a stabilizer) and tomato paste, this product is a processed food rather than an ultra-processed industrial formulation; it lacks the long list of artificial additives, emulsifiers or industrial ingredients typical of NOVA 4.
