Tomato and basil pesto soup is a shelf‑stable, vegetable‑based soup from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range, classified in the fruits and vegetables food group. It delivers very low levels of fat, saturated fat, sugars, salt and calories per 100 g, making it lighter than the average prepared vegetable soup, but it also provides modest protein and fibre compared with typical soups. The product is rated as NOVA 3, the Nutri‑Score is not displayed on the packaging, and it contains medium‑fat hard cheese, so it is not suitable for vegans and includes a milk allergen.
