Here is the ingredient list for your Prego sauce:

Ingredients: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Diced Tomatoes In Tomato Juice, Sugar, Canola Oil, Contains Less Than 1% Of: Salt, Onions*, Spices, Citric Acid, Garlic*, Onion Extract, Garlic Extract.*Dried

Having more than 2 ingredients in your store bought tomato sauce is a big red flag.

When you buy tomato sauce it should have at most 2 ingredients, tomato and maybe a bit of salt.

The biggest red flag in store bought tomato sauces is sugar, which really ruins it.

When you cook with a tomato sauce like Mutti from Italy you add in whatever ingredients you want like olive oil, garlic, ground peperoncino, pepper, salt, fresh basil, etc etc.

Don't buy the pre-made store bought tomato sauce. It tastes like shit while at the same time making your own sauce with a fresh tomato base takes like less than 10 minutes.
