User questions & answers

Question:	Is this Barilla ready pasta vegan-no dairy or egg
Answer:	Well, if you read the back of the package it clearly states: "Water, Pasta [Semolina (Wheat) Durum Wheat Flour], Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt. Contains Wheat Ingredients The pasta Product is Manufactured on Equipment That Processes Products Containing Eggs https://www.amazon.com/Barilla-Ready-Pasta-Rotini-Ounces/dp/B01MUGPLP2/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n2_0?cv_ct_cx=barilla+ready+pasta&dchild=1&keywords=barilla+ready+pasta&pd_rd_i=B01MUGPLP2&pd_rd_r=2871f96d-55e5-4690-9e4e-14f3e00a0185&pd_rd_w=t0Ckk&pd_rd_wg=YvlKJ&pf_rd_p=1da5beeb-8f71-435c-b5c5-3279a6171294&pf_rd_r=3AZW3TVJZFRQH4TTHMNQ&psc=1&qid=1592539437&sr=1-2-70f7c15d-07d8-466a-b325-4be35d7258cc
Question:	does it come with any type of sauce
Answer:	Hello, Our Ready Pasta does not come with any sauce.
Question:	How come the penne pasta went up in price by over 5$ for Thisbe month in comparison to my last months order? Almost doubled in price
Answer:	Well I'll say it has to do with the seller: Supply & Demand. In a case like this you report the problem to Amazon as a Pricing Problem via their link in the product purchasing page
Question:	Does it have artificial coloring in it
Answer:	Barilla Fully Cooked Ready Pasta, Penne. Wanted to try but didn't want 6 package so I picked up a package at Walmart and followed the microwave direction on the package. When I removed pouch from the microwave there was a smell, which I assume came from the packaging; but when I emptied the penne into my pot of sauce I was truly shocked! The pasta was the size of half cooked MINI Penne and the color was brown like uncooked whole wheat pasta. The texture wasn't hard or crispy but definitely NOT el dente either, it was down right CHEWY and TOUGH! The picture perfect WHITE Penne on the package is very deceiving, as that's not what comes out of the pouch! Just the thought of anyone giving this product any stars upset my stomach!

Answer:	There are no dairy ingredients in this product.
Question:	How many servings in one

Question:	Do these have to be refrigerated
Answer:	The COMPLEATS® Meals are all fully cooked and shelf stable.
Question:	what is the aprox shelf life
Answer:	My guess would be about a year, but you need to check the expiration date on the package when you receive it. I've eaten some a year after I bought them and had no problems. They probably last awhile even after the printed expiry date.
