What You Should Know

Xochitl Chipotle Salsa Medium (15 oz) reads like a small-batch take on a classic smoky salsa you might pull from a grocery shelf when you want heat with a clean ingredient list. You'd most often spot it in the condiments or international/Mexican foods aisle, shelved near tortilla chips, guacamole, jarred salsas, and enchilada sauces — sometimes grouped with premium or heritage snack brands. It fits game-day and casual entertaining shopping trips as easily as it does a quick weeknight taco run or a weekend brunch that needs a spicy kick. The brand leans into Latin heritage and artisan cues: the name Xochitl signals Mexican roots, the label often uses bright, folkloric design elements, and marketing targets shoppers seeking authentic flavors without artificial additives — millennials and food-curious consumers who prioritize simple ingredient lists. Labels commonly suggest naturalness, with callouts like minimal ingredients or no artificial preservatives; organic certification is not universal for this SKU. In plain terms this product is a prepared, jarred salsa made by combining whole ingredients and preserving them for shelf-stability. Sensory details: medium heat with a warm, smoky chipotle note, bright tomato and lime acidity, a garlic edge and a touch of olive oil silkiness; texture is slightly chunky with visible bits of dehydrated pepper. Packaging is a 15 oz shelf-stable jar with a screw-top lid suitable for spooning directly onto chips or topping tacos; ritual uses include chip dips, taco finishing, marinades, and stirring into scrambled eggs. Nutrition cues are modest — low calories per serving with moderate sodium — reinforcing its role as a flavorful condiment rather than a meal.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This jarred salsa is a processed food because whole ingredients are combined with added salt and oil and preserved for shelf stability, but it lacks the industrial additives and formulations typical of ultra-processed products.
