User questions & answers

Question:	Does sauce have garlic in it
Answer:	Hi, our Traditional Sauce and Tomato and Basil Sauce both contain dehydrated garlic.
Question:	Are there any meat products in this sauce? I don't want pork
Answer:	No meat or dairy products of any kind listed in the jar's ingredients list. I thought they were some of the best jarred sauces I've tasted. For those wanting to cut the sweetness, which I didn't find, add a bit of red wine -- or white will do.
Question:	Is the jar itself glass or plastic
Answer:	I ordered in Feb 2020 and they were glass jars, AND they were packaged so that it was impossible for them to touch each other and break.
Question:	does this sauce have sugar added
Answer:	9g of sugars on the nutrition facts for tomato & basil flavor. Ingredients: Tomato puree (Water, tomato paste), diced tomatoes (tomatoes, citric acid), sugar, etc etc. So since sugar is the 3rd ingredient, that means sugar IS added. It does not indicate what kind of sugar; the front label just claims "all natural." The traditional flavor is only 8g sugar.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need to fill the box? Are prices less expensive when the box is full
Answer:	I'm guessing you're talking about the Pantry box. It doesn't matter how full the box is regarding prices. Your Pantry shipping fee is same no matter how full box is. However, Pantry always has items that count for free shipping. You need to buy at least five of those products (there are quite a bit of selection) for your whole box to be shipped free. I do this every time when I do a Pantry order.
Question:	In store, most packages were not vegan (had egg) or were produced in a facility that uses eggs. Can anyone see anything like that on the package
Answer:	Hello, The package states that "This product is manufactured on equipment that processes products containing eggs." No egg product in the product ingredients however.
Question:	What does Rigati mean? What's the difference between this one and the regualr Spaghetti
Answer:	Rigati means ridged - it has lengthwise ridges.
Question:	Is this price only for 1 pack of pasta
Answer:	I thought what I bought was the regular spaghetti. And it came out to less than $1 per box which is a good deal. But, if you look at the price of this product and see that it says $.74 per ounce, with the box being 16 oz, that would be $11.88 per box. SURELY that is an error. Has anyone ordered this?!

Question:	does it come with any type of 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!
