Summary

This tomato sauce contains beneficial ingredients like tomato puree, carrot fiber, and various spices, which contribute to its nutritional value. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of modified corn starch and natural flavors, which are often highly processed and lack transparency. The processing level limits its score despite the presence of mostly natural ingredients.
