What it is

Tomato sauce is a cooked sauce made primarily from tomatoes, often seasoned with herbs, spices, and sometimes vegetables like onions or garlic. It is typically made by crushing or pureeing fresh or canned tomatoes and simmering them to reduce and concentrate the flavors.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tomato sauce as a flavorful base for many dishes, providing moisture, acidity, and a rich umami taste. It is a key ingredient in pizzas, pasta dishes, stews, soups, and casseroles.

Health notes

Tomato sauce, made from tomatoes, is considered a whole food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies associated with plain tomato sauce itself.
