About BALSAMIC BASIL MARINARA PASTA SAUCE, BALSAMIC BASIL MARINARA
Meijer Balsamic Basil Marinara Pasta Sauce is a private-label store-brand jarred pasta sauce from Meijer, Inc., the Midwest supercenter chain headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The primary ingredient is Italian plum tomatoes — a whole peeled tomato product packed in tomato juice with basil, salt, and citric acid — establishing a tomato-forward base. Olive oil and onions are the next most prominent ingredients by weight. The balance of the formulation, comprising 2% or less, includes balsamic vinegar (wine vinegar and grape must), salt, garlic puree, additional basil, and spices.
Per 100 grams, this sauce provides 64 calories, with 7.2 grams of carbohydrates, 0.8 grams of protein, 3.2 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of fiber. Calorie density is low, consistent with a tomato-based sauce. The fat content reflects the olive oil component. No added sugars (cane sugar, corn syrup, or dextrose) are listed in the ingredients, which distinguishes this marinara from many commercially sweetened pasta sauces. The balsamic vinegar contributes natural sugars from grape must, accounting for a minor portion of the carbohydrate total.
This sauce is free of wheat, dairy, eggs, and nuts based on the listed ingredients, making it suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets. The sulfites present in balsamic vinegar are a potential concern for sulfite-sensitive individuals, though they are not explicitly flagged in this abbreviated ingredient declaration. As a simpler marinara with no artificial flavors or preservatives, it functions as a pasta topping, pizza sauce, or braising liquid for meat and vegetable dishes.
