Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce, 25.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd grab this jar from the pasta sauce aisle for a quick weeknight dinner or stash it in your pantry for Sunday meal prep — it reads like a simple, homey tomato sauce with a comforting, slightly rustic vibe. The short, recognizable ingredient list (whole peeled tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, salt, and a pinch of citric acid) and chunky cooked-tomato texture point to conventional industrial processing for shelf stability rather than heavy formulation with many industrial additives, consistent with a processed (NOVA 3) product.
