This would be considered an acid food which would hot filled (and perhaps run through a hot water bath or shower afterwards). While there is the possibility that the pH was higher then it should be (above 4.6), there could be an issue when the pH approaches 4.6 from spoilage organisms. More likely was the the required hot fill temperature was not maintained during processing. Exploding glass jars is often the sign of yeast contamination, and this would occur when processing fill temperatures drop too low.
