I'm a vegetarian and wondering if the pesto pizza is an option for me? I don't see a carrot symbol next to it but I'm wondering what's in it that makes it non-veg? thanks

I'm not sure the answer to your question, but if no one can answer it in this section I'm sure if you post it on the "Ask the Dietitian" section she/he will know the answer. They moniter that board m-f but if you post it soon you'll get an answer Monday. Good luck and I look forward to seeing why it's no carrot!

I am on the veggie plan and have wondered the same thing. I have found that the pesto pizza (as well as other items with no carrot or no meat mentioned) contain renet. Renet is an animal enzyme that is used in the cheese making process. I hope this helps.

I asked the dietitian the question, below is the answer:

Why is the Pesto Pizza not considered a vegetarian food? What ingredient(s) keep the non meat food out of the vegetarian list?
Thanks in advance; I appreciate "Ask the Dietitian" section. I read this column first whenever I log on to the message board.

Thank you for your question,
Pesto Pizza is a meatless entree but it is not a vegan entree. It contains dairy products so would not be appropriate for someone that avoids all animal products.
Best Wishes.

thank you for the replies. Next time I'm ordering the pesto pizza. yum!
