Summary
This cooking sauce contains high-quality ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh onions, which contribute positively to its nutritional profile. However, the presence of citric acid and cellulose, along with its classification as an ultra-processed product, limits its score. Despite the beneficial ingredients, the level of processing and the inclusion of additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
