Banquet Lasagna With Meat Sauce is a pre-packaged, convenience meal that combines pasta, cheese, and beef-and-pork-based sauce to create a classic Italian dish. The product offers an easy way to enjoy lasagna without the effort of homemade preparation.
The nutrition facts reveal that this lasagna contains 249 calories, moderate protein content, but high sodium levels at 509 mg, which is quite elevated for a single serving. The presence of added sugars and processed ingredients like modified corn starch suggests that while it may provide a quick meal option, its health impacts could be negative due to its high sodium content and other additives.
The product appears to be ultra-processed based on the extensive list of artificial flavorings, colorants, and chemical additives such as high fructose corn syrup, which are not typically found in minimally processed foods. The use of enriched pasta and preservatives further indicates a heavily processed product designed for shelf stability and convenience.
