Finding a store-bought pasta sauce that cuts both the sodium and avoids added sugar can be tricky, as many brands use sugar to offset high acidity and salt for basic preservation. However, a few standout options fit this exact criteria:
The Silver Palate Low Sodium Marinara / Tomato Basil : Widely considered the gold standard for low-sodium commercial sauces. It has no added sugar and no tomato paste , relying strictly on whole-peeled San Marzano/California tomatoes, olive oil, and herbs. It clocks in at around 130 mg to 140 mg of sodium per serving.
Victoria Low Sodium Marinara Sauce : Another stellar option that keeps the ingredient list clean with Italian tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. It features no added sugar and sits very low on the sodium scale at roughly 120 mg per serving.
Muir Glen Organic No Salt Added Tomato Sauce / Pasta Sauces: While technically a "no salt added" line rather than a finished seasoned pasta sauce, their organic tomato and garden vegetable variations have no added sugar and nearly negligible sodium (around 20 mg), making them a fantastic blank canvas to doctor up with your own fresh garlic, basil, and Italian herbs.[1]
