About BASIL PESTO SAUCE
Marketside Basil Pesto Sauce is a refrigerated or fresh pasta sauce sold under Walmart's Marketside private-label brand and categorized under Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces. The product is a basil pesto formulation, a traditional Italian-style sauce made with basil, oil, cheese, and alliums.
The ingredient list leads with a basil blend (basil, sunflower oil, salt), followed by additional sunflower oil and parmesan cheese made from pasteurized cultured part-skimmed milk with salt and enzymes. Canola oil provides additional fat. Lactose appears as a bulking or texture modifier. Garlic is present in whole form. Minor ingredients at 2% or less include dehydrated potatoes (likely used for thickening and body), vegetable fiber, natural flavors, ascorbic acid (as an antioxidant to preserve color), lactic acid, and spice. No pine nuts are listed in this formulation, distinguishing it from traditional Genovese pesto. No artificial colors or preservatives are declared. Allergens include milk (parmesan, lactose) and potential soy cross-contact. The dehydrated potato and lactose additions are functional texture contributors common in commercial pesto formulations.
Per 100 grams, this sauce provides 550 calories with 8.33 g carbohydrates, 56.67 g fat, and 6.67 g protein. Fiber is 1.7 g per 100 g. The very high fat content is characteristic of oil-based pesto sauces. The product is not suitable for dairy-free or vegan diets. The low carbohydrate content (8.33 g) makes it compatible with low-carbohydrate dietary patterns despite its high calorie density.
