Classic Alfredo Sauce

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce scores 27/100 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.

Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Cream, Parmesan Cheese and Modified Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce 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.
