Testers for the awards sampled products to find the very best sauces, spreads, oils and condiments.

The SELF story said this about the brands marinara sauce: “As a brand that accommodates dietary restrictions with products that are gluten-free, dairy-free, low-sodium and more, Yo Mama’s uses flavor enhancers like salt, sparingly—but you wouldn’t even know it.
