Yikes! Maybe it's time I switch to using fresh tomatoes when making red sauce. It's not that hard to skin tomatoes anyways so maybe it makes sense to go in that direction, especially when they're adding that much sugar.
I happen to have 3 brands of tomato sauce in the cupboard. Each 8 ounce can appears to have less sugar in it than a serving of Oreos (14 grams for the Oreos. 5, 7.5 and 10 grams for the sauces). Only the 10 gram sauce has any added sugar.
The cans each say 2.5 servings (to be clear, above I've done the math for the entire can), and I think for many foods, it will be the case that less than 1/2 the can is a serving. So there is something iffy about the comparison in the article (and 20 or 30 calories of sugar in a meal is not a huge concern for most people).
