Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Pace Original Picante Sauce scores 80/100 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 0g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

Pace Original Picante Sauce lists 10 ingredients, starting with Crushed Tomatoes, Water, Crushed Tomato Concentrate, Jalapeno Peppers and Onions. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

10 kcal per serving, or 33 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Pace Original Picante Sauce on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 80/100 Pace Original Picante Sauce sits in our top band, among the better pasta & cooking sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Sauce at 100/100.
