What's in your pesto though? The basic constituents would be olive oil, basil and pine nuts .... often you find it with cheese in it as well, maybe parmesan or pecorino.

Most of the ingredients in it are pretty healthy so I'd say get stuck in. I would say though, be a little conscious of the calorie content if you're cutting. If you're not - don't worry about it!

It's worth noting that the different types of jarred pesto have quite different calorie counts; the green one seems to be the highest, the aubergine one and the tomato one are quite a lot less calorific.

I was going to say last night - but have you thought about making your own? Easy to make and much fresher and tastier than the jar version

The one I saw today was made with 50% vegetable oil so some are far from ideal mate.
