Thread: Dolmio sauce for meatballs

Hi guys- bought a jar of this ready made sauce. It's nutritional info is as follows:

Per 100g - cals 40,protein 1.6g, carbs 7.2g, fat 0.2g. Whole jar is 500g.

I have entered it on the syns online and it's come up as 2.5 syns per jar.....does this sound correct? It asked me what free foods were in it and I added tomatoes as in the ingredients it's 70% tomatoes.

Help.....it seems too good to be true....I tried a search but couldn't find a thread about this already.

Something doesn't look right with it tho-as why would it be 10 syns on original but only 2.5 on green/EE? did you put something as a free food allowance by mistake? It wouldn't qualify for one so would be a straight 1 syn per 20cals( therefore 10 syns for the whole jar) HTH xx

Yeah I added tomatoes as free food....

But that still doesn't make sense as tomatoes are free on both plans!! Anyhow it'd still be 10 for the whole jar xx

Jars of sauce do not qualify for a free food allowance so it would be a straight 1 syn per 20 calories or 10 syns x

Thanks guys - makes sense now. Wasn't that nice - so for 5 syns i won't have that again!!!!
