Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Hy-Vee Meat flavored pasta sauce scores 22/100 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.

Hy-Vee Meat flavored pasta sauce lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Tomato Paste, Diced Tomatoes In Tomato Juice, Sugar and Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed and/Or Canola Oil). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Hy-Vee Meat flavored pasta sauce scores worse than most pasta & cooking sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Simply Nature Organic Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce at 100/100.
