Hi everyone.
I have a jar of spaghetti sauce that I thought I might use up if it is all legal.
It's Bertolli Organic Traditional sauce.
nurtion is 7g of sugar, 2g of fiber, and no trans fat per 1/2 cup serving.
Organic sugar is listed in the ingredients along with all the other organic tomato products and spices.
What do you all think?
Thanks!

I'm not to clear on the sauces, but I do know there are sauces that have less sugar, next time check out CLASSICO.


Why dont you cut your serving size in half so you dont waste what you have?

Thanks!
I actually compared the organic one to a Ragu that I also have. Seems the RAgu has 1 gram less sugar and the calories and everything else is lower. I don't think Ragu is a good choice, so I am sure the other won't be. I have two jars of the Classico here (can you tell we use to eat a lot of pasta? LOL) but DH doesn't like them. I have a fabulous recipe to make my own, and it was what we used before we started SB, so it's something we are familiar with and like. I will just make up a big pot. I just didn't want to waste these sauces, but I don't want to eat something that's not going to help us either.

I thought I had read somewhere that the guideline for sauces (BBQ, Pasta, etc..) is no added sugar and 3 or less grams sugar per serving...but I could be mistaken :)

Hi Carla,


Sorry but this sauce is not good - because of the added sugar (organic or otherwise).


Try Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato and Basil - my favorite!

Karen,
Thanks, I picked some of the NS Ragu today with some spaghetti squash.
DH and I are having a date dinner tomorrow night after the kids are in bed. This will be perfect!
Thanks!
