Lowest sugar: pasta sauce, ranked
Three pasta sauces tie for the least sugars on Australian shelves at 1 g sugars per 100 g: Rana Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Providore Italian Basil Pecorino & Pine Nut Pesto 190g and La Gina Basil Pesto 190g, all verified against their pack labels.
A tomato is about 4 g sugar per 100 g, so a plain sauce should sit near that. The jars that read 8 or 10 g have been sweetened. This ranking separates the two without reading a single ingredient list.
Method. Total sugars per 100 g from the verified dataset. Tomatoes carry intrinsic sugar around 4 g; figures well above that are added. Covers the 145 on-shelf products with this
value; updated with the shelf. Ties rank jointly. Never sponsored, never hand-ordered.
