Can anyone identify the opaque, jelly-like substance in this Herdez Roasted Red Pepper salsa I just bought?
Never seen something like it before, apologies if this is the wrong forum for a question like this.

Not related but the only other time I’ve experienced having something gross come out of store bought salsa, it was Herdez.

While I doubt this is what it is, botulism is described as a white milky liquid. Ive never seen it before so I can’t say. Don’t even open it. Botulism can be contracted through inhalation, and is not something you ever want to get. I would simply return it.

Looks like it sat in the sun for like 3 days and has a bunch of preservatives. Dunno. But I can hear the sound of opening that, which was probably hard. Then the smell 🤢🤮

If you ever make something at home, you will see separation. OK, hot sauce, soup etc. They add “stuff” to prevent separation so it pleases the eye but all you need to do is shake or mix the jar.
