@@prodbywoody"if we take everything out that makes it great, we can profit more!" Profit is what matters to Campbell's. They make awful soup and even worse sauce, because they cut corners and use artificial ingredients instead of real food. Rip Rao's, you were my first love
In all honesty, it's an extra 5 bucks for top shelf sauce that makes everything it touches taste like a bronzened Italian God made it. It's worth it. I can always season up some prego if I can't afford my rao's. Gotta get the big jars and add diced tomatoes. If you're single, you still have a full jar of sauce left over after you make yourself some spaghetti or lasagna or tortellini or manicotti. Even goes great in a meatball sub.
❤❤❤ RAO’s! So glad to hear that you don’t think they’ll be changing the recipe. Let’s hope you’re right. One thing I do know is that if they do change it, you’ll be one of the first to let us know.
Raos....best spaghetti sauce hands down. For me anyway...and as someone else mentioned they will more than likely change it..they just can't leave a good thing alone.
Why wont they "fix" something thats broken? 😂😂😂 It's simple, my dear Warson: Shareholder profit, my friend. Shareholder profit. The winning ingredients won't sway the outcome ... They will count on Rao's customer base to remain loyal, even as the formulation declines in health quality so long as the formula increases profitability.
They can change the quality of the tomatoes they can change the quality of the olive oil. They can change the quality of the seasonings. It might be the same ingredients, but they could change the quality of the of the ingredients themselves.
Nope, I don’t trust anything those CEOs say. I got enough Original Rao’s from Costco to last me until 2025. If they don’t change the recipe fine. But when they do I can sell the extra on eBay. 😂
@razorrich Ewg tests the produce after they've been washed so unfortunately, it sill includes pesticides and cooking it won't remove ot all. Tomatoes is on the dirty dozen list. Opt for the organic sauce at Costco.
@razorrich the ingredients are good and real so I guess he gave it a pass. He said the Victoria sauce at Costco is organic but not as good taste wise as Raos.
The sauce is no good anymore,,,,they changed it! 😢 Thank"s a lot for selling it to them Rao's! Trader to your loyal fans that put a lot of $$ into your pockets! You could have sold it someone who would have kept it the same. Shame on you for ruining a beautiful thing.
Even the cheapest sauces have about the same sodium as rao's. Where they cut cost is using tomato paste and water as the 1st ingredient. Rao's uses whole tomatoes. They also use unripe tomatoes, and cover that acidity with sugar. I noticed switching to a good sauce that uses ripe tomatoess doesn't give me heart burn. Dried instead of fresh spices is another cost saving measure. And using cheap oil like soy or canola oil instead of evoo. Victoria's and Rao's are the only brands that make sauce from whole ripe tomatoes and no paste or sugar that I've seen at the store. Even the organic stuff uses tomato paste and sugar.
I love Raos esp since they were small business owned. But now I’m not sure if I will continue to buy it. Big companies mass produce them and they are there to make a profit . There goes the quality.
Okay.... there has been a notable difference in taste of the sauce from last year and beyond as compared with the sauce I've been eating lately (past 5 or 6 months.) I'm thinking it's simply the crop of tomatoes isn't as sweet as the previous crops and so the sauce is tasting a little bitter (acidic.) Q: How will I know whether I have older sauce or Campbells owned?
@@livingwell5892that's probably from when they got bought out initially. I still like it, I have a jar I've been saving, but I anticipate a gradual decline. I'll miss rao's.
Sure. Keep in mind they arent required to list nanoparticles in their ingredients by the fda for ingredients in any companies food. It needs independent testing
The definitions themselves may not change. If however you are a product manager for Rao's Marinara and incentivised to lower cost without impacting ingredient definitions to improve bonus potential then sourcing channels could change which may impact quality.
Just because its organic doesn't make it better, Rao's sauce is the closest any of us will get to eating at Rao's, a resutaruant where you pretty much have to know the owner or someone who is friend's with the owner to get a table.
I am Italian. I will never buy sauce out of a jar. I make my own. I cook my own organic tomatoes. All that is in it is onions, garlic, real EVO and salt and pepper. No sugar.
Let's pray you are right! I was sure thinking about this because we know sadly Campbells soup has terrible ingredients... I wish they would remove the High fructose corn syrup! They need to get with the program and make healthy changes on their products! I try avoid them when possible but I do miss it!
I make homemade Rao's spaghetti sauce. Restaurant Recipe Recreations has a video on the real sauce! It's way better than bottled. Anything homemade is better. I do one thing right with my eating; otherwise, I struggle with sugar. Learning from you every day. Thank you!
Go to Whole Foods and look for their 365 marinara with only olive oil in it or to heb and look for the same thing. Cost half the price and it’s basically as good as that one
In blind testes I've seen, 365 comes top 3, but raos is ALWAYS top 2. Close enough. You can make sauce cheaper. Tomatoes are cheap in bulk. So is everything else that goes into marinara.
I was wondering about Rao's. I was going to try it. But that price is prohibitive. I don't mind paying for it, if the ingredients are clean. But like a commenter below said, "We've been lied to for a long time." I may grab one to try it BEFORE it gets contaminated.
You already missed it, the price and taste changed when they got bought out initially. Current sauce is close but not the same. Campbell's Rao's will not be anything like the present Rao's.
Well bud light changed etc. Let’s not trust any company. Just check the ingredients every time. If company’s want to change ingredients they can. Check the label everytime. They’re adding to many oils etc. Campbell a makes most things not Bobby approved so let’s pay attention and let Bobby know if and when they change
So many people are already saying that it tastes completely different like there's a lot more sugar. I don't know because honestly I started buying trader Joe's sauce as it's much more affordable and better ingredients. I'm sad to see that they sold to Campbell. Cause Campbell always ruins everything. Putting too much salt, putting too much sugar
It would be great if companies didn't change the taste, product or item because "Why fix something that isn't broken?" But companies break things all the time. What they might do is create a product similar to Rao's similar ingredients but upcharge and there are people who want "fancy" ingredients but then they will change the taste of Rao's. They might even do a label change "New Look, Same great Taste!" But the taste will be different lol
Famous last words. The CEO of Campbell's is only concerned about the bottom line and the shareholders, not a bunch of spaghetti fans. If he has to cheapen the recipe to improve profits....that is exactly what he will do. It's happened a hundred times. Ask any Budweiser fan why Bud doesn't taste as good as it did before Inbev bought them. 🙄
Never underestimate a money hungry corporation. If given the option to cheap out and replace more expensive ingredients with cheaper ones you can bet they will.
Because best foods was a winner before they adopted soybean oil. Mcdonalds was a winner before when they used tallow in their fries. Most food brands that used to use real oils, that were winners, now say "New and improved recipes" and the improvments are adding canola oil.
Let’s make your own sauce folks, start with some canned organic tomatoes, canned organic tomatoes paste, organic chicken stock, season that sucker up and BAM! Marinara sauce. Throw in a little window Basil, or Italian seasons. Let’s get creative.
Rao's is good sauce; I just hope they don't put sugar in the gravy like so many other sauce makers have done. It's like they're conditioning people to crave a sweet taste in everything they eat.
Literally a couple cloves of garlic, olive oil, a can of tomato pasta, a can of tomatoes, salt, and pepper. You can make a better sauce at home in about 20 minutes while the pasta is cooking. And spend about 3 dollars on it.
That's why everything Taste different when the Globalist bought everybody off they change everything Taco Bell was great Before it got bought off Bye general mills That's why they got plastic in the Meat To make it look fuller Same with McDonald's Burger king and the list goes on Kentucky Fried Chicken, that's all been changed.

Not any more!
They're going to make it cheaper to produce and cash in on Rao's reputation for as long as they can.
They always say they're going to stay the same...I don't trust big corporations at all.
But you do trust big corporations, liar. That’s why you buy food from them. Takes a lot of trust to eat food made from a corporation.
The only worry with Rao's is how to afford it.
Yeah you gotta get it when it's on "Sale" down to $6.50 instead of $8.50.
I saw it on sale for $10...I could my 5 jars of preggo instead.

Making homemade tomato sauce is easy and so much more satisfying.
Years ago Campbell's bought out Franco-American spaghetti, a long time kids' favorite, and it disappeared from the shelves.
Prediction - They’ll triple the salt content to make the shelf life longer (and your’s shorter)
Lol true.
Rather have triple the salt then triple the seed oils
So true tho ❤
You need some salt, considering how much Sodium and Potassium is lost during exercise.
Even the cheapest sauces have about the same sodium as rao's.

What was their salsa company?
