Product Insights
The product is a vegan basil pesto from Italy, packaged in a glass jar with a steel lid, and it belongs to the Fat and sauces and Dressings and sauces PNNS groups. It earns a Nutri-Score of D and is classified as NOVA 4 ultra-processed, reflecting the use of refined oils, rice syrup and additives such as lactic acid (E270) and natural flavourings. While it provides a good amount of basil-derived nutrients, fiber and plant-based fats, it is relatively high in total and saturated fat and contains notable allergens (tree nuts and soy), which may be a drawback for some consumers.
