Brown sauce is a bottled condiment used to accompany meals. The figures here describe bottled brown sauce sampled across several brands. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 510 kJ of energy, 28g of carbohydrate, including 24g of sugars, and 3.8g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The sugar and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake, particularly when sauce is added to foods that already contain salt. The amount consumed determines how much sugar, salt and energy it contributes to a meal. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (9 bottles, 3 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
