Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Prego Creamy Roasted Garlic Pesto scores 38/100 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.

Prego Creamy Roasted Garlic Pesto lists 19 ingredients, starting with Water, Cream, Garlic, Parmesan Cheese and Modified Food Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 38/100 Prego Creamy Roasted Garlic Pesto scores worse than most pasta & cooking sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Sauce at 100/100.
