What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar on the condiment aisle or next to the chips at Whole Foods — a smoky, fire-roasted salsa that brings a backyard barbecue or casual game-night vibe. The ingredient list is dominated by whole roasted tomatoes and chiles, but the inclusion of stabilizers, acidulants and juice concentrates suggests industrial processing for a consistent texture and extended shelf life.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

Processed Food

Mostly made from recognizable vegetables and spices but contains additives (calcium chloride, citric acid) and concentrates for stability and uniformity, characteristic of processed foods (NOVA 3) rather than highly industrial ultra-processed products.
