This is mostly vegetables — tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic in vinegar. There is no added sugar and no oil, and the only real additive is a nonspecific natural flavor. Sodium is the one thing to watch, but as jarred salsas go this is a clean one.

Why this verdict

Vegetable-based: tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, and garlic
