Aldi Caprese Pasta Salad

Breakdown

Processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Aldi Caprese Pasta Salad scores 40/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Aldi Caprese Pasta Salad lists 14 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Filtered Water, Tomato, Red Pepper and White Wine Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 40/100 Aldi Caprese Pasta Salad scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Trader Joe's Shredded Iceberg Lettuce at 100/100.
