Ingredients (8)

• Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes (safe) — Real whole tomatoes, not paste or concentrate; the actual base of the sauce and a source of lycopene and vitamin C.
• olive oil (safe) — A minimally processed, monounsaturated fat, far better than the refined seed oils in most jarred sauces.
• Onions (safe) — A whole vegetable adding flavor and fiber; nothing to worry about.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
• GARLIC (safe) — A whole aromatic, purely flavor and beneficial compounds.
• basil (safe) — A real herb for flavor; no downside.
• black pepper (safe) — A simple spice, no concern.
• Oregano (safe) — A real herb for flavor; no downside.
