No — Mild Salsa Dip is not ultra-processed.

Great choice! Made with simple, recognizable ingredients.

This salsa is made primarily from tomatoes, onions, peppers, vinegar, salt, coriander, garlic, sugar, and water. Calcium chloride is a basic firming agent, and citric acid is a basic acidity regulator; neither makes the product ultra-processed under the specified criteria. No industrial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined oils, or other qualifying UPF additives are present. The text includes packaging and contact information mixed into the final entry, but the food ingredients are sufficiently identifiable for assessment.
