We found the best review of Amy's Organic Family Marinara at the San Francisco Chronicle, which asked five food professionals to taste 11 organic sauces. This is the only publication we found that tests solely organic pasta sauce. Amy's pasta sauce is also included in a roundup of sauces at Health magazine, where it competes against non-organic varieties.

Among organic pasta sauces, Amy's Organic Family Marinara receives the most positive mentions; the consensus is that this sauce is thick, tastes good and is not too sweet (many mainstream jarred sauces are laden with corn syrup). There's some disagreement over spiciness – some tasters say Amy's has a mild flavor, but others say the manufacturer should ease up on the herbs. If you aren't concerned about buying organic, reviewers say Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce (*est. $8 for 24 ounces) and Barilla Basilico Tomato & Basil Sauce (*est. $3 for 26 ounces) are also good choices.

This newspaper asks five food professionals to taste 11 organic jarred sauces, with Amy's placing fifth (the winner is Italy's Starletta). The review says Amy's is "mild" but has an "overpowering herb flavor."

2. Health Magazine

Health magazine says it tested 15 brands of jarred past sauce but lists just four of them, naming Amy's Premium Organic Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce the winner. Odd for a health magazine, there's no mention of these sauces' nutritional value.
