We tested 22 tomato sauce products that are available nationally in major supermarket chains. 

We included products labelled ‘ketchup’ and products labelled as reduced salt and/or sugar. Price is based on the price of a 500mL (or closest) bottle in Sydney stores (not on special) in September 2019.

Our experts tasted the tomato sauce samples ‘blind’ (without knowing the brands) in a randomised order, which was different for each expert.

Experts independently judged all tomato sauce products, scoring each sample for flavour and aroma, texture and appearance. 

The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of 

• 50% flavour
• 40% texture, aroma and presentation
• 10% nutrition, based on the Health Star Rating, calculated from the details in the nutrition information panel and converted to a percentage.

We recommend products with a CHOICE Expert Rating of 70% or more.
