Sloppy Joe Sauce

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Great Value Sloppy Joe Sauce scores 29/100 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. 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.

Great Value Sloppy Joe Sauce lists 14 ingredients, starting with Tomato Puree, Water, Tomato Paste, High Fructose Corn Syrup and Distilled Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 29/100 Great Value Sloppy Joe 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.
