The Jersey Tomato Co. tomato sauces have no added sugars, preservatives or artificial tomatoes and are rich in natural antioxidants and vitamins. The balanced flavor profiles makes them perfect for incorporation into a wide variety of different recipes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Local Ingredient Foods:** Brands can take advantage of consumers' increasing preference for locally sourced food ingredients, particularly in the tomato sauce industry. - **Low Sodium Products:** With the usage of special-tomatoes, brands can create tomato-based products that have lower sodium levels, leading to an untapped market for low sodium products. - **No Additives Sauces:** With the use of natural ingredients, brands can create sauces that are free of artificial additives such as preservatives or added Sweetners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Regional Produce:** Tomato-based food businesses can profit from the usage of locally sourced tomatoes, appealing to customers who prioritize locally sourced fresh produce. - **Healthy Food Industry:** Low sodium sauces with none to fewer artificial ingredients can decrease sodium consumption, highlighting untapped possibilities in the healthy food industry. - **Organic Food Industry:** Tomato-based food businesses that focus on natural and organic ingredients without preservatives can market themselves in a market segment catered to organic and natural products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tomato-Free Sauce Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatofree-sauce.md) - [Premium Pasta Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-pasta-sauces.md) - [Tomato-Based Cooking Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-culinary-tomatoes.md) - [Concentrated Tomato Sauce Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauce-starters.md) - [Tomato Sauce Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-sauce-co.md) - [Creamy Pasta Sauce Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prego-jarred-sauces.md) - [Chef-Curated Italian Simmer Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-simmer-sauces1.md) - [Organic Pasta Sauce Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/certified-organic-pasta-sauces.md) - [Low-Cost Own-Brand Cooking Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-local-cooking-sauce.md)
