Every sauce and condiment broken down by realistic serving rather than per 100g, with the salt and sugar a spoonful actually adds to a meal.
Sauces are used in small quantities, which makes per-100g figures actively misleading. A tablespoon of something alarming on paper can be trivial, and a jar of cooking sauce split between two can be most of a day's salt.
Ketchup, mayonnaise and brown sauce are used by the spoonful, so the honest comparison is per 15g serving. Most add under half a gram of salt, though sugar in ketchup and sweet chilli is meaningful for children.
Cooking sauces are different. A jar poured over a family meal contributes salt and sugar to every portion, and tomato-based pasta sauces frequently carry added sugar as well.
Reduced-salt and reduced-sugar variants exist across most ranges and often differ substantially from the standard version. The difference is usually larger within a brand than between brands.
Soy, fish and Worcestershire sauces are salt concentrates. A teaspoon can carry as much salt as a portion of crisps, which is fine in context but worth knowing when cooking for young children.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
