What it is

Organic pizza sauce is a sauce made from organic tomatoes, often with added organic herbs, spices, and sometimes organic sweeteners or oils. The tomatoes are typically cooked down and pureed, then seasoned to create a flavorful base for pizzas. The 'organic' designation means the ingredients were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic pizza sauce as a primary flavor component and moisture provider in pizzas and other Italian-style dishes. It adds a characteristic tangy and savory tomato taste. It is commonly found in frozen pizzas, pizza kits, pasta sauces, and as a dip.

Health notes

Organic pizza sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Tomatoes and common seasonings like basil and oregano are nutritious and generally considered healthy. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual ingredients found in pizza sauce, such as citric acid (an acidity regulator), and have established safety guidelines. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of pizza sauce.

Allergen info

Organic pizza sauce is not typically derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless a specific gluten-containing ingredient is added.
