Ortega Medium Taco Sauce

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Ortega Medium Taco Sauce scores 27/100 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.

Ortega Medium Taco Sauce lists 14 ingredients, starting with Tomato Puree, Water, Tomato Paste, 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 27/100 Ortega Medium Taco Sauce scores worse than most condiments & sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in condiments & sauces is Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Sauce at 100/100.
