Summary
This salsa contains a high percentage of tomatoes, onions, and green capsicum, which are beneficial ingredients providing vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of modified maize starch and added sugar, which contribute to its processing level. The added sugar also detracts from its nutritional profile, as it provides empty calories without nutritional benefits.
