Is it possible you are mistaken about the 'added' ingredients being stated on previous packages?
Mre. Wages's web site clearly states not to add any other ingredients to their salsa mix.
"Can I add more onions or peppers to Mrs. Wages Salsa before water bath canning?
While it might be tempting to add other ingredients when canning with Mrs. Wages products, we advise against doing so. Mrs. Wages mixes have been carefully tested to not only deliver delicious flavor, but to ensure that the proper acidity (or pH) level will be met in the finished canned product, thereby ensuring food safety. Adding additional ingredients could potentially alter this acid balance and impact both the processing method and/or time needed to guarantee food safety. So for this reason, we respectfully ask that you follow the package directions as they are written when processing products using Mrs.Wages products. The only changes you can safely make in this salsa recipe are to substitute bottled lemon juice for the vinegar. Spices and herbs may be added, minimally, if you feel this is necessary."
Care with canning is so critical.

Hope it all works out!
We've been using Mrs. Wage's Salsa Mix for years & have gotten especially good at our end results by adding additional items even though it suggest not to.
1. NO GREEN Bell peppers. ONLY use RED, ORANGE or YELLOW.
2. 35 de-seaded jalapenos.
3. 1/2 - 1 lg garlic
4. If you can find them - 5-10 de-seaded Caribbean Reds (use gloves) for an extra kick.
All chopped fine, use blender or Ninja. As it comes to a boil, taste test & add additional if needed.
