About BASIL PASTA SAUCE
Hemis Fares Basil Pasta Sauce is an imported pasta sauce product sold under the Hemis Fares brand, Kroger's specialty international foods sub-brand. This sauce falls in the Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces category and is formulated in an Italian style with a tomato-pork base incorporating fresh basil as a featured herb. The inclusion of pork salami distinguishes this sauce from purely vegetarian options.
The ingredient list is notably concise, beginning with tomato pulp made from tomatoes with citric acid as a preservative. Pork salami — itself consisting of pork, chili pepper, and sea salt — is the second ingredient by weight, providing a cured meat character to the sauce. Carrot and tomato paste add body and depth, while basil and parsley provide fresh herb notes. Onion and extra virgin olive oil complete the aromatic foundation, with sea salt for seasoning. No artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives beyond the citric acid in the tomato pulp, or added sugars are present, reflecting the Hemis Fares positioning around minimally processed imported products.
Per 100 grams, this sauce provides 152 calories, with 10.4g carbohydrates, 11.2g fat, 2.4g protein, and 1.6g dietary fiber. The fat content relative to carbohydrates is higher than typical tomato-only pasta sauces, attributable to the pork salami and olive oil. The product contains pork and is not suitable for halal or kosher diets without further certification. It appears free of gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, and tree nuts. The pork content disqualifies it from vegetarian use.
