Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce
Salt lands before the garlic in this marinara, and basil comes after. The basil jar does the reverse. A 125 g serving is 100 calories and 7 g of fat.
Campbell owns the brand, according to the Rao's FAQ, and the tomatoes stay Italian. The about page says southern Italy for the fruit and Italian olive oil in the pot. No Canadian cooker is named.
Ingredients are whole peeled tomatoes, olive oil, onions, salt, garlic, basil, black pepper and oregano. Added sugars on this panel are 0 g. Sodium is 420 mg.
The printed panel is about 5 servings. Larger jars on the same page will not match that count.

This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
