Oh, not necessarily, I think! There's a product you find on the shelves called "tomato sauce" which
is not exactly the same as puree-- it's more concentrated-- but it's not seasoned unless it's
specially labeled. If I were following a recipe that called for "tomato sauce" I would go for the
unseasoned product.

Sounds like you're talking about tomato paste. Not the same thing at all as tomato sauce.

Canned "Tomato Sauce" (in the US) is a seasoned tomato product, which is why it's called "Sauce"...
read the label.

Canned tomato products labeled Puree, Crushed, Whole, Paste, etc. are not seasoned (except those
that state they contain herbs- usually basil)... where the word "Sauce" appears it's seasoned. Some
canned tomato products state they contain 'no added salt' but they still contain salt, all food
naturally contains salt.

That would be spaghetti sauce. Tomato sauce is usually just cooked strained/pureed tomatoes, salt,
and citric acid - unless it's advertised as being adulterated with other spices.

What is that thing I find on the supermarket shelf labeled "Tomato Sauce"? It commonly comes in 8-oz
cans from companies such as Hunts. It contains nothing other than tomatoes, tomato concentrate,
whatever, and perhaps salt.

Is the url to Hunts product listing. It appears that tomato sauce, while not as flavored as
spaghetti sauce, does have some seasoning to it. It sounds a lot like ketchup to me. They have a
tomato puree that they describe as having "a texture between tomato paste and crushed tomatoes."
Then, they have the regular tomato paste, which is concentrated, strained tomatoes.

Could you give an example of the recipe that includes a mention of tomato sauce?

Given that it doesn't seem to be an open and shut definition that is immediatley obvious to other
posters then the recipe may help people to figure out what this ingredient really is.

FYI-- Hunt's Tomato Sauce:

Aw, now you've taken the fun out. :-)

We certainly have a lot of choices: whole, diced, crushed, stewed, puree, juice, sauce, paste. Not
to mention the 'flavored' variations.

Cooked and seasoned sauce, but not necessarily spaghetti sauce.

Tomato sauce in the United States is typically a marinara type sauce. If you have a specific
recipe in mind, post the recipe then we can say for sure what type of tomato sauce would be
appropriate for it.

It's generally meant to be either a finished seasoned sauce or occasionally the equivalent of a
passata. It's not normally used to mean the stuff that goes on bangers or chips, as in Heinz.

Anyone with a can of tomato sauce and who can read will know you're a liar.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong? I figured you'd be used to it by now, but you keep coming
back for more.

That was from a can of HEB brand tomato sauce.

Some brands may indeed have some "spices" in them, THE USDA even says they can, but a very minute
amount not even *identifiable* in the end product. And certainly not fit for use as a spagetti sauce
without additional adulteration.

Wrong. Tomato sauce in an American recipe is what comes in cans labeled 'tomato sauce'. The URL
posted the other day

hunts.comA02 FAQ.jspOpen ↗

shows that plain 'sauce' is roughly equivalent to 'puree', a diluted form of 'paste', or a
concentrated 'juice'.

I realize that marinara means 'tomato,' so strictly speaking, marinara sauce and tomato sauce are
the same thing, but usually 'marinara' refers to a complete seasoned and cooked sauce, to be put
over pasta or meat, while 'tomato sauce' means liquidized tomatoes with salt and perhaps a teeny bit
of other seasonings to be used as a recipe *ingredient*.

Jarred or canned 'pasta sauces' (oddly not made from pasta :-). are meant to be used as-is and are
thoroughly cooked and seasoned.

Tomato sauce and ketchup are not alike. At all. And tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce aren't alike,
either. Different altogether.

It's getting harder and harder to find simple whole, diced or pureed tomatos for all the Italian,
Mexican, zesty and chili-flavored varieties on the shelves. Can sauce be far behind?

At home in England, ketchup was known as tomato sauce - perhaps it still is. I agree, though, tomato
sauce here in the US is a different animal (no seasoning) from ketchup. BTW, I love Heinz' new
ketchup. It's called "Zesty", or something and really sparks things up.
