Summary
This salsa is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score despite having a relatively clean ingredient list. The presence of 'natural flavor' is a minor concern due to its lack of transparency, but the product avoids major harmful ingredients like seed oils or artificial additives. The use of whole food ingredients like tomatoes and jalapenos is positive, but the processing level prevents a higher rating.
