What You Should Know

You'd spot this bright bottle in the condiment aisle or on the table at taco nights, weekend brunches, and backyard barbecues — a pourable, veggie-forward hot sauce meant to be used liberally. It gives an adventurous, wholesome vibe with a fresh kick from serranos and other vegetables, while the smooth, consistent texture comes from blending and vinegar preservation rather than obvious industrial additives. Those characteristics point to a processed condiment made from whole ingredients and culinary inputs rather than a heavily ultra-processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made mainly from whole peppers and vegetables plus vinegar and cane sugar, this is a processed condiment (blending, acid preservation, and concentrate use) rather than a formulation with industrial additives, so it fits NOVA group 3.
