We recommend tomato sauce products with a CHOICE Expert Rating of 70% or more.

The CHOICE Expert Rating, our overall score, is made up of taste 90% (50% flavour, 30% texture, 10% aroma and 10% presentation) and nutrition 10% (100% Health Star Rating, calculated from the details in the nutrition information panel and converted to a percentage).

The experts tasted all tomato sauce samples blind (without knowing the brands) in a randomised order, which was different for each expert. The scores are weighted as follows: 50% flavour, 30% texture, 10% aroma and 10% presentation.

The nutrition score is based on the product's Health Star Rating, calculated from the details in the nutrition information panel and converted to a percentage.
