Food Label for Tomato Sauce: Troovy
Tomato Sauce: TroovyThis Troovy sauce tries to stand out with no preservatives and some added veggies, but it’s basically a sweetened tomato sauce with a heavy hit of jaggery. Compared to regular ketchup, it’s slightly better for having a bit of fibre and minerals, but 16g added sugar per small serving is a lot—over 3 teaspoons in just 2 spoonfuls! ✅ Iron (7.5mg, 15% DV) & Zinc (2.4mg, 12% DV): Good boost for kids and adults, especially if you’re vegetarian. ✅ Some Fibre (2.9g): Unusual for a sauce, and comes from added veggies; will help a bit with digestion. ❌ Very High Sugar (16g added/20.9g total): Whether it’s jaggery or table sugar, that’s still too much for a condiment. Expect a sugar spike and crash, especially if kids pour it on generously. ❌ Main Ingredients Are Tomato & Jaggery: Veggie puree is just 7%, so the “hidden veggies” claim is mostly a marketing gimmick. ❌ Sodium (577mg, 9% DV): Not extreme, but keep an eye if you use this with salty foods. Overall, this is a slightly improved ketchup for those wanting a little fibre and minerals, but still too sugary to use daily. If you use ketchup occasionally, it’s fine, but don’t treat it as a health food. For lower sugar, try Veeba’s No Added Sugar ketchup or Del Monte’s Tomato Puree for a tangy dip.
