Common questions

Is BBQ Sauce healthy?

BBQ Sauce scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 0g protein and 10g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in BBQ Sauce?

BBQ Sauce lists 57 ingredients, starting with Sugars, Brown Sugar, Fancy Molasses, Sugar and Fructose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

How many calories are in BBQ Sauce?

50 kcal per serving, or 251 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores BBQ Sauce on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

Does BBQ Sauce contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in BBQ Sauce’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is BBQ Sauce?

BBQ Sauce is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

How does BBQ Sauce compare to other pasta & cooking sauces?

At 5/100 BBQ Sauce scores worse than most pasta & cooking sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Sauce at 100/100.

Is BBQ Sauce organic?

BBQ Sauce is not certified organic in our data.

Has BBQ Sauce been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for BBQ Sauce, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
