Do you add water or fillers to your fresh salsas?
FAQNO! Santa Barbara works to be the top quality product in our category. We use only the best quality tomatoes available on any given day, so we don't need fillers to "take up" the juice cheaper tomatoes can bring in. We also use a new mixing technology that uses the natural (juice) runoff of the cutting process to mix our spice blend. A few of our salsas use fruits, to which we must add water to create the right flavor and texture.

Short periods of holding sea turtles in fresh water can be tolerated and are useful when prescribed by a veterinarian, e.g., to remove parasites and fouling epibiota such as barnacles. However, prolonged periods in fresh water should not be encouraged.
