Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make tomato sauce, perfect for pasta and versatile enough to be frozen for future meals. This basic tomato sauce is perfect for anyone following the 6-Food Elimination Diet (6FED), as it’s free from dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, fish, and nuts.. It's specifically designed to fit within:

  • 4FED: A 4-food elimination diet, excluding dairy, wheat, egg, and soy.
  • 6FED: A 6-food elimination diet, excluding dairy, wheat, egg, soy, fish, and nuts.

Recent research shows the 1FED can be as effective as the 6FED diet as first-line therapy for Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE). Eliminating animal milk alone is much easier and more sustainable than eliminating multiple foods. Learn more here.
