What You Should Know

You'd spot this tall bottle in the condiment aisle or on your fridge door, pulled out to brighten tacos, eggs, or snacks with a sharp, fresh heat. It feels bright and garden-forward — wholesome and adventurous rather than heavy or indulgent. The short ingredients list and vinegar-based preservation point to a simple processed condiment with a pourable, chunky texture and few industrial additives (hints toward NOVA 3).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The sauce is made from whole vegetables, vinegar, salt and a small amount of cane sugar with no obvious industrial additives or emulsifiers, so it's a processed condiment rather than an ultra-processed formulation. Bottling and vinegar preservation are commercial processing steps consistent with NOVA group 3.
