Summary
This white pizza sauce contains beneficial ingredients like ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and olive oil, which contribute to its nutritional profile. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of additives like bisulfate of soda and natural flavors, which lack transparency and may cause sensitivities. The processing level and inclusion of these additives limit the overall healthiness of the product.
