  1. Hi,

    The ingredients contain.. “Spices, Natural flavor”. If they don’t specify, you can’t be certain what is in it. Mostly it would be Onion and/or Garlic.

    Thanks.

    • Hi Raj, Thank you for your comment. the observation is generally if the ingrediants contains oinion/garlic even if it is having dehydrated product always have it written.. you can check with the other pizza sauce or salsa or any other product.

      But I will sure try to find it out that “spices” does not contain onion/garlic. will post my comment on it soon.
      Thank you. Keep visiting.

  2. Hi,
    I had emailed Ragu a few years back and they had replied saying the Spices in their Pizza sauce, contains garlic.
    I will try look for that email.
    You can check with them too.
    Thanks.

    • I have emailed Ragu asking for the same for “Ragu Homemade style” but they have not confirmed.
      Below is the response from Ragu:

      “Thank you for contacting us regarding Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce .

      It is important to know and understand that Unilever takes a proactive role in managing all food allergy issues. We also follow good manufacturing practices-established procedures to identify potential risk areas to prevent “cross contact” between allergen and non-allergen foods.

      Unilever has accurate product labeling . The eight most common allergies as identified by both U.S. FDA and the Food Allergy Network are: eggs, milk and dairy products, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish as well as any ingredient that may contain gluten.

      Unilever takes great care to be certain that the ingredient statements of all of our products are accurately labeled and are in full regulatory compliance as outlined by the FDA/USDA guidelines.

      As always, if you cannot determine whether the product contains the ingredient in question, you should not use it. We do appreciate your interest in our company and its products.When common allergens are used in our products, we list these under our ingredients. The common allergens we list, if present, are: Milk, Eggs, Fish, Shellfish, Wheat, Soy, Peanuts or other Nuts. We make every effort to stay informed about any additional ingredients that could be considered common allergens. Also whenever possible, we try to avoid using materials or ingredients that could be considered to be commonly allergenic, so that potential allergens are not included into categories such as “Natural Flavors”.

      Many of our unique flavors are created for us by flavor suppliers, and we purchase the flavors as a single component. Since the formula of the flavor is proprietary to the flavor supplier, we do not have a list of the flavoring ingredients.

      In the case of allergies: it is extremely unlikely that an artificial or natural flavoring would contain the complex proteins needed to cause an allergic reaction. On the other hand, some people may find that there are particular foods which are not tolerated and need to be avoided.

      Food allergies are caused when a sensitive person has an adverse reaction to complex proteins. Flavorings rarely contain any proteins. If they do, then the proteins are usually only simple proteins that should not cause an allergic reaction. If a flavoring contains complex proteins, then the source of the protein will be included in the ingredient list on the product label.

      If you do have an allergy, we would ask that your doctor provide the name of the specific flavors or components in writing, we will then respond to your physician. As you may know, flavors often have complex formulations, containing many ingredients. The research may take several weeks to complete so we thank you for your patience.

      Please send to:

      We hope this information is helpful. Be sure to visit again soon.

      Sincerely,

      Your friends at Ragu”

  3. Ragu Pizza sauce is definitely not Jain. I purchased it the other day and it smells strongly of garlic. Please refrain from using it.
