What it is

Tomato sauce is a liquid or semi-liquid food made from tomatoes, often with added salt and spices. It is produced by cooking tomatoes, then pureeing them. Some versions may be concentrated or have other ingredients added.

Why it's used

Tomato sauce is used to add flavor and moisture to a wide variety of dishes. It serves as a base for many sauces, soups, and stews, and is commonly found in pasta dishes, pizzas, and casseroles.

Health notes

Tomato sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. The WHO/IARC has not classified tomato sauce itself. JECFA has evaluated some components of tomato products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Tomato is botanically a fruit, not one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
