Veggie-Loaded Whole Wheat Pizza
1. Spread 2-3 tbsp of Del Monte sauce on a whole wheat pizza base. 2. Top generously with chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives. 3. Sprinkle with a moderate amount of mozzarella cheese and a pinch of oregano. 4. Bake until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on convenience, value, and taste rather than making specific health claims. This is an ethical approach, as the product's high sugar content would make health-focused marketing misleading. The claims are truthful in the context of the product's intended use.
