Star Harissa

Star harissa is a hot chili pepper sauce produced by the brand Star and originates from Morocco, belonging to the "Fat and sauces" group in the PNNS classification. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is placed in NOVA group 3, indicating a processed condiment with low sugars and low saturated fat but a very high salt content of 11 g per 100 g, which may be a health concern. The sauce combines water, red hot peppers, garlic, cumin, coriander and the synthetic dye E129, offering robust flavor while introducing an additive that some consumers avoid and providing little protein or fiber.
