Rao's Homemade Arrabbiata Sauce
Crushed red pepper is the extra line in this jar. Marinara stops at oregano. A 125 g serving is still 100 calories and 7 g of fat, same as that milder sauce.
The FAQ puts the brand with Campbell and keeps the tomatoes Italian. Southern Italy and Italian olive oil are the sourcing lines on the about page. No Canadian plant is written down.
The ingredient order is whole peeled tomatoes, olive oil, onions, salt, garlic, basil, crushed red pepper, black pepper, oregano. Added sugar is 0 g. Sodium is 420 mg.
Heat is the reason to pick this one. The calorie math matches marinara.
