Diana Sauce Gourmet Original Barbecue Sauce

Sugars sit first on this label. The 500 ml bottle lists glucose-fructose, molasses, and maltodextrin ahead of water and tomato paste.

Kraft Heinz puts "Proudly made in Canada" on the Diana Sauce brand page and names no city. The parent organization on that page is Kraft Heinz, with a mailbox in El Paso, Texas.

A 30 ml serving carries 13 g of sugar and 250 mg of sodium. Barley vinegar, mustard, anchovies, and soy are the allergen flags. Narcity picked this bottle off a Loblaws shelf on 21 December 2023.

Company’s own label claim: “Proudly made in Canada

Partly. This Original sauce comes from a brand Kraft Heinz says is made in Canada, and Kraft Heinz is American. The label never says where the tomato paste or the sugar was grown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Diana Sauce Gourmet Original made in Canada?

The Diana brand page claims the sauce is produced in Canada and never names a town. Kraft Heinz, a US company, is the owner, so the bottle is only partly a Canadian story.

Who owns Diana Sauce Gourmet Original?

Kraft Heinz owns it. The Canadian Diana page sets that company as the parent organization, and the address on the record is in Texas.

Is Diana Sauce Gourmet Original gluten-free?

No. The vinegar is barley vinegar, and barley contains gluten. Treat this sauce as a gluten source.

Does Diana Sauce Gourmet Original contain fish?

Yes. Anchovies show up in the seasonings. Soy and mustard are on the same allergen line.

How do you store Diana Sauce Gourmet Original?

The Kraft Heinz product page says to refrigerate the bottle once it is open. It does not print a use-by window for the fridge.
