Papa Murphy's Traditional Red Sauce
This red sauce is high, mainly because it is built on canned tomatoes.
This is sold raw and you bake it at home, which is the freshest case on this whole list. Nothing sits in a warmer, and you control how long it waits between the shop and the oven. Refrigerate it as soon as you get home and bake it the same day, because histamine builds up as protein foods sit whether that happens in a kitchen or in your fridge.
This is a tomato sauce made from canned tomatoes, spices, garlic, onion, sugar, and oils, and it lands high.
-
Canned tomatoes — tomato is a classic histamine liberator, and the canned form is the high driver that sets this sauce's level.
-
Soybean oil — the oil sits at a moderate level, so it adds to the picture but the tomato is what makes the sauce high.
Skipping the red sauce entirely is the cleanest way to keep a pizza lower.
