Common questions

Is Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce healthy?

Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce scores 97/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce?

Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce lists 5 ingredients, starting with Water, Organic Tomato Paste, Sea Salt, Organic Cayenne Pepper and Acidity Regulator (E330) / Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Trader Joe's Tomato 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".
