About CREAMY VODKA PASTA SAUCE, CREAMY VODKA
Meijer Creamy Vodka Pasta Sauce is a jarred pasta sauce produced under the Meijer private-label brand of Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Vodka sauce is a classic Italian-American preparation combining tomato and cream with vodka, which serves to extract flavor compounds from the tomatoes and emulsify the fat and water components of the sauce. The Meijer formulation begins with tomato puree (water and tomato paste) and ground tomatoes as the dominant components, followed by cream, imported Pecorino Romano cheese (made from sheep's milk), and vodka. Parmesan cheese (from cow's milk) is also included. Olive oil provides additional fat, while onions, organic sugar, salt, garlic, and spices build the aromatic base. Xanthan gum stabilizes emulsification and citric acid adjusts acidity.
Per 100 g, this sauce provides 104 calories, with 7.20 g fat, 6.40 g carbohydrates, 3.20 g protein, and 1.60 g dietary fiber. The calorie density is relatively low for a cream-based pasta sauce, reflecting the significant water and tomato content. The fat contribution comes from cream, olive oil, and cheese.
Dairy allergens are present via cream, Pecorino Romano (sheep's milk), and Parmesan (cow's milk). The product contains alcohol (vodka) at an undisclosed residual level after cooking — relevant for those avoiding all alcohol. No wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish, or sesame are declared. Suitable for vegetarian diets. Not appropriate for dairy-free dietary needs. The use of organic sugar and olive oil alongside imported cheese positions this as a mid-premium store-brand pasta sauce offering.
