Common questions

Is Mezzetta Tomato Pesto healthy?

Mezzetta Tomato Pesto scores 92/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Mezzetta Tomato Pesto?

Mezzetta Tomato Pesto lists 16 ingredients, starting with Olive Oil, Water, Grade a Organic Milk, Cheese Cultures and Enzymes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
