% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Marinara or spaghetti sauce, which contains tomatoes, provides antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene, along with fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and folate. Observational evidence suggests that tomatoes and tomato sauce may support heart health, immune function, and a reduced risk of certain cancers, including prostate cancer, as noted by Cleveland Clinic and NutritionFacts.org, with studies specifically exploring lycopene's role in preventing precancerous prostate lesions. However, research demonstrates that the antioxidant profiles of tomato products can be impacted by oxidative damage during commercial storage, with compounds like ascorbic acid and beta-carotene showing degradation even at moderate temperatures.
