About FOUR CHEESE PASTA SAUCE
PSST Four Cheese Pasta Sauce is a value-tier canned pasta sauce product sold under The Kroger Co.'s PSST budget sub-brand, categorized under Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces. This is a tomato-based marinara-style sauce with four-cheese flavoring from a blend of Parmesan, Romano, Ricotta, and Mozzarella cheeses.
The primary base is tomato puree from water and tomato paste, followed by water. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) appears as the third ingredient, indicating a measurable sweetening role in balancing tomato acidity, which is common in commercial pasta sauces. Salt, carrot fiber (a texture and fiber-adding ingredient), and soybean oil form the next layer. The four-cheese blend includes Parmesan (pasteurized milk, culture, salt, enzymes), Romano (same base), Ricotta (pasteurized whey and milk with vinegar and salt), and Mozzarella (pasteurized part-skim milk with calcium chloride and enzymes), all combined with sodium phosphate and sodium citrate as emulsifying salts. Citric acid, spice, and natural flavor complete the seasoning.
Nutritionally, this sauce is low in calories at 40 calories per 100 grams with 7.94 grams of carbohydrates, 1.59 grams of protein, 0.79 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of dietary fiber. A 126-gram serving provides approximately 50 calories. The HFCS content is a notable formulation choice for a pasta sauce, contributing to a sweeter profile than purely herb-seasoned alternatives. Allergen note: contains milk (multiple cheese sources). Not suitable for dairy-free or vegan consumers.
