Common questions

Is Sauz Basic Jalapeño Pesto healthy?

Sauz Basic Jalapeño Pesto scores 96/100 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.
