Summary

This salsa contains mostly whole food ingredients like tomato puree and diced tomatoes, which are minimally processed and provide beneficial nutrients. However, the presence of 'natural flavor' introduces a level of processing and lack of transparency that slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. Despite being processed, the ingredient list is relatively clean, allowing for a fair score within its category.
