Product Insights
Salsa Mexicana is a plant-based Mexican-style sauce from the Hacendado brand, belonging to the Fat and sauces (dressings and sauces) group, packaged in a glass jar with a metal lid and marketed as gluten-free. It carries a Nutri-Score of A and falls in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, offering low fat, low saturated fat and low sugar (4.1 g per 100 g) but a modest salt level of 0.9 g per 100 g. While its high vegetable content (tomato, onion, green pepper) provides fiber and vitamins, the presence of modified corn starch and added sugar means it is not a whole-food sauce.
