About the ingredients
Passata Solanum lycopersicum
Cooked, strained purée of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum, fruit). Minimally processed: tomatoes simmered, sometimes seeded/skinned, reduced. Rich in lycopene, vitamin C, potassium. Plain tomato sauce is WFPB-canonical; commercial jarred versions often add oil, sugar, and salt (separately labeled).
Red Pepper Piper nigrum
Dried unripe fruit (peppercorns) of the pepper vine, used whole or ground. A whole dried spice with nothing added or extracted. Canonical WFPB aromatic.
Red Chilli Capsicum annuum
Fruit of Capsicum plants, used fresh or dried as a pungent vegetable/spice. Contains capsaicin, vitamin C, vitamin A/carotenoids, and vitamin B6. Whole plant fruit, no isolation or additions: canonical WFPB.
Garlic Allium sativum
Garlic itself is canonical, but extract denotes a concentrated/isolated derivative outside the whole-food canon. Marketed as natural/healthy supplement, hence mistaken-as-WFPB flag.
Sherry vinegar Vitis vinifera
Vinegar made by acetic fermentation of sherry wine (from grapes), aged in the Spanish solera system. A whole-fruit-derived fermented condiment with no added oil, sugar, or animal product; alcohol is consumed in fermentation. Canonical under WFPB like other vinegars.
Lime Citrus aurantiifolia
Distinct from fresh lime juice (canonical). Concentration is an industrial vacuum-evaporation step removing fiber and concentrating sugars/acids.
