[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tastes great for a jarred sauce. It’s very affordable too which is great. I did add a few of my own spices, but I do that for every jar of sauce. This makes for an easy dinner on a weeknight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Delicious sauce! This is by far our go to for sauce for any Italian dishes! With only a few ingredients I feel good feeding it to my family. I also love that it isn’t packaged in plastic, glass jars are so much better! Love this sauce
No longer non-GMO?

Until this week (2/4/2025), this sauce had a "non-GMO" label on it, Now, it doesn't. Why? Because it now contains soybean oil instead of olive oil, which I'm guessing was to reduce the cost to manufacture it. I'm fine with soybean oil, but it would be nice if it was non-GMO soybean oil, if that is possible.
Excellent sauce

Delicious spaghetti sauce for both lasagna and spaghetti. We've enjoyed eating your sauce since I was a kid. I'm almost 60 now.There is no better sauce than yours. Thanks for a great product that me and family have enjoyed for many years.

I tried to make my mother's and grandmother's spaghetti sauce recipe recently using Ragu Traditional just as they did many years ago. However, I immediately noticed a significant change of taste when I sampled the opened jar. This "new" taste is terrible compared to the excellent taste Ragu Traditional used to have. I will have to look for another brand as a substitute. Why would you ruin the flavor of a sauce people have loved for decades. It's just like when Cica Cola changed their recipe, people quit buying it. Learn a lesson from them and bring back the original flavor just like Coca Cola ended up doing. Why try to fix something if it isn't broken?

I've bought Ragu for years and have always been pleased, but the last couple of jars have been nearly inedible. I don't know what you've done, but please change it back.

Absolutely HORRIBLE. They need to go back to their recipes of before 2020. Don’t add any oil or cheese or dairy products. Just the recipe from before 2030. That recipe had a nice addicting yummy and laraping flavor that you can’t quit thinking about. This one here just taste horribly disgusting and I would rather just have great value recipe compared to this. Or Hunts is even better.
Change to Sauce Recipe?

What have you done to my sauce??? Entirely too "tomato-ee". Not my old sauce for sure. After using Ragu exclusively for my life for as long as I can remember, I'm no longer a fan of this recipe.
The old college staple - Ragu Traditional

I have reflux and I've recently "rediscovered" Ragu Traditional Sauce because it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on my throat. I grew up in NY eating homemade sauce (gravy) with meatballs, sausage, braciole, all made by old school Italians. When my college roommate's dad used to drive hours to bring us groceries every month, multiple bottles of Ragu were always included. While this sauce is clearly not the same as homemade - we grew to love it served over capellini with sautéed mushrooms & fresh grated parmesan. Yes, it's slightly sweet and doesn't have a thick consistency like other bottled sauces, but that's the beauty (and the simplicity) of it. Years later, I see that it's still affordable and it tastes exactly as it always did...
I miss the traditional taste to Ragu

I refuse to buy anymore Ragu sauces - I miss the traditional taste. I was a long-time consumer of Ragu spaghetti sauce no matter the price difference between Ragu & Prego. I have added extra spices but no matter what that sour taste remains. I used to look forward to making spaghetti as a quick delicious dinner but not anymore. I have had to throw out Ragu leftovers because my family refuses to eat it. Please go back to the old recipe.
What happened?!

I have never eaten any pasta sauce but Ragu. I've tried others, but there is just no comparison. Ragu is my hands down favorite. Well, it was... I just made pasta with the traditional sauce. Took one bite and thought I'd made a mistake and bought a different flavor because it was completely bland to the point of inedible. But it was the right flavor. Ruined my dinner for tonight and even contemplating trying other sauces is upsetting because my preference has been so strong for so long. I tried adding some extra spices, but the underlying flavor was just terrible. I'm so sad and disappointed. Why?!
Why would you change your recipe??

Recipe has changed and Ragu Traditional is not what it used to be. I won’t make the mistake of buying it again even though it has been our “go to” for many years.

They need to bring back the old recipe. The new recipe is no doubt cheaper for them to make, which is why they changed it, but they don’t need a rocket scientist to sit down and evaluate how many lifetime customers they are losing …. And so maybe not such a profitable decision after all.
