⚠️ Moderate Sodium

Sauce has 416 mg sodium per 100g. While not critically high, kidney stone patients should monitor sodium intake as excess can raise urinary calcium.

This entry is one flavor variant of the same base product, and flavoring generally shifts oxalate far less than form and processing do. Sauce (Pasta) sits at 9 mg per serving, at the high end of the family. Individual measured values below are the numbers to compare. Related forms in this family: Sauce (Sloppy Joe) (7 mg), Sauce (Pasta/Marinara) (3 mg).

Spices are the one food family where serving size dominates the oxalate question completely. At a gram or two per teaspoon, the difference between spice entries matters less than how often the jar comes out of the cupboard — a daily-seasoning spice and a holiday-only spice are different exposure categories even at similar per-serving numbers. Sauce (Pasta) measures 9 mg per teaspoon serving. Nearby entries in this category: Graham Crackers (9 mg), Basil Herbs and Spices (Basil 2) (10 mg), Chili Powder Herbs and Spices (8 mg).
