Read this ingredient list and it looks like a recipe, not a chemistry set: tomatoes, olive oil, onions, garlic, and a rack of herbs. No added sugar, no gums, no natural-flavor placeholders. The only thing to watch is the salt.

Why this verdict

Every ingredient is a recognizable organic whole food or dried herb
No added sugar, corn syrup, or the hidden sweeteners common in jarred sauce
No thickeners, stabilizers, gums, or natural flavors
Extra virgin olive oil rather than a cheap refined vegetable oil
Added salt is the one real watch-point for sodium-sensitive eaters
