Is Trader Joe's Salsa Verde GERD Friendly?

Description
Bright, tangy flavor with a zesty note and moderate heat, offering a smooth-yet-chunky texture that clings to chips and coats tacos. Common uses include dipping, topping grilled proteins, and stirring into rice or soups; reviewers often mention consistent flavor, convenient packaging, and occasional variability in spiciness and overall value scores.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- garlic
- jalapeno garlic puree
- green chilli pepper
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.
