Breakdown

Trader Joe's Salsa Verde scores 92/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Trader Joe's Salsa Verde lists 8 ingredients, starting with Tomatillo, Green Chili, Dehydrated Onion, Jalapeno and Garlic Puree. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 92/100 Trader Joe's Salsa Verde sits in our top band, among the better condiments & sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in condiments & sauces is Simple Truth Organic Thick & Chunky Mild Salsa at 100/100.
