Summary

This salsa contains mostly minimally processed ingredients like tomato puree, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeño peppers, which contribute beneficial nutrients and antioxidants. However, the presence of 'natural flavour' introduces some uncertainty due to its vague nature and potential for hidden additives. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the overall clean ingredient list.
