What to know about Wingreens Farms Original Recipe Pizza & Pasta Sauce
A tomato sauce with 1,440 mg sodium per 100 g
A 600 g pizza and pasta sauce built on tomato paste (32.1%) and water, with liquid glucose, refined sunflower oil, onions, sugar, iodized salt, garlic, red chilli flakes and herbs. It is bought as a ready base for pizza, pasta and quick baked dishes, so there is no need to cook a sauce from scratch.
Per 100 g it gives 229 kcal, 2.4 g protein, 10.5 g fat and 31.2 g carbohydrate, of which 29.5 g is sugar and 21.7 g is added sugar. Sodium is 1,440 mg per 100 g, about 3.6 g of salt. The pack prints a 15 g serve, 40 to a pack: 34 kcal, 3.3 g added sugar and 216 mg sodium each.
The name is plain and accurate: it is a pizza and pasta sauce, and the list is led by tomato paste. The sweetness, though, comes from liquid glucose and sugar on top of the tomato, and the salt is high for a sauce meant to be spread. CleanPlate scores it EB4.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.4 g per 100 g, and the largest contributor is the tomato paste, at about 0.5 g. No isolated fibre is declared, and the grade gets no credit from protein, fibre or vitamins and minerals.
Energy is 229 kcal per 100 g, with 10.5 g fat from sunflower oil and 31.2 g carbohydrate, most of it sugar.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is led by tomato paste and water, followed by liquid glucose and refined sunflower oil. Onions, garlic, chilli flakes and herbs are real flavour ingredients, and no hydrogenated fat or dye appears. The ingredients grade holds up for that reason.
The thickeners, modified starch (1422) and xanthan gum (415), each cost ingredient points. The sodium benzoate preservative (211) and the acidity regulators, acetic acid (260) and citric acid (330), cost nothing in the score. No label promise is hollow.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Added sugar
- 21.7 g
- Sodium
- 1440 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0.2 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the main driver: 1,440 mg per 100 g, and 216 mg in a 15 g serve. It accounts for most of the risk number.
Added sugar of 21.7 g per 100 g is the second part. Saturated fat is low at 1.7 g per 100 g, and trans fat is declared at 0.2 g, with no hydrogenated fat in the list.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High added sugar (21.7g per 100g)
- −Red flag: High sodium (1440mg per 100g)
