Basil Pesto

Breakdown

Processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

365 Whole Foods Market Basil Pesto scores 45/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

365 Whole Foods Market Basil Pesto lists 14 ingredients, starting with Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Expeller Pressed Sunflower Seed Oil, Cashews and Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 45/100 365 Whole Foods Market Basil Pesto lands mid-scale — below the typical score in pasta & cooking sauces, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Simply Nature Organic Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce at 100/100.
