What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the salsa/condiments aisle or beside prepared foods — an easy grab for chips, tacos, or a picnic that aims for fresh flavors. The roasted tomatillos and peppers give it a homemade, bright vibe; the short ingredient list with calcium chloride and lime juice concentrate signals light industrial processing to preserve texture and shelf-stability rather than heavy reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Jarred salsa made from identifiable vegetables with salt and minimal stabilizers indicates processing for preservation and consistency (NOVA 3) but lacks the industrial additives and formulations typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
