What You Should Know

You might grab this mango salsa in the refrigerated condiments or specialty salsa aisle at Whole Foods for a bright, tropical topping at a backyard taco night or weekend chips-and-dips spread. It reads fresh and adventurous — sweet mango and smoky chile notes — but the presence of purees, juice concentrates and stabilizers gives a smooth, shelf-stable texture that feels convenient rather than freshly made. Those processed ingredients and acidulants hint at commercial canning and formulation choices that extend shelf life and uniformity.
