My pepper sauce looks unsafe
I canned some pepper sauce. It had peppers and green tomatoes. After 3 days of being refrigerated , the peppers are floating on top and has blobs of cloudy material stuck to the peppers. The tomatoes are on the bottom.
I am wondering if adding olive oil has caused this and are they safe

Cloudy material will be fungus growing in the culture. It is not safe to eat.
Where the contamination has come from is impossible to work out, there are several steps in the canning process during which a failure in the step could result in the canning not being sterile and growing something.
Contamination is also likely if you placed hot or warm food in the fridge. Was the canned sauce room temperature?
