About CLASSIC ALFREDO SAUCE, CLASSIC
Meijer Classic Alfredo Sauce (second USDA formulation) is a prepared pasta sauce sold under the Meijer private label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This variant represents a different formulation of the brand's Alfredo sauce with a notably higher fat and calorie content, suggesting it may be a richer, more cream-forward product compared to the companion entry.
Unlike the companion formulation, cream leads the ingredient list rather than water, signaling a higher dairy fat base. Butter is present as a third ingredient, further increasing the saturated fat content. Modified corn starch provides thickening. Parmesan cheese, whey protein concentrate, salt, sugar, and natural flavor follow. DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides) is an emulsifier. Xanthan gum, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper provide seasoning. Lactic acid adjusts acidity. Annatto is used as a natural coloring agent to give the sauce its characteristic warm ivory or yellow hue. Allergens include milk. This formulation lacks egg yolk, differentiating it from the companion version.
Nutritionally, this formulation provides 167 calories per 100 grams — significantly higher than the companion entry — with 6.67g carbohydrates, 1.67g protein, and 15g fat. Fiber is zero. The serving size is 60 grams. The higher fat content reflects the cream-and-butter base. This product is not suitable for low-fat diets. Calorie density is moderate-high for a prepared sauce.
