Is this sauce actually sugar-free?

No. It is labeled no sugar added, not sugar-free. It is sweetened with other ingredients, so check the nutrition panel if you monitor sugar alcohols or total carbohydrates.

How does it compare with regular Sweet Baby Ray's?

It keeps the thick texture and smoky-sweet profile but is less sweet than the original. The hickory smoke is more forward.

What can I use it on?

It works as a glaze on ribs, chicken and pork, stirred into baked beans, or as a thick dipping sauce.

Does it need refrigeration after opening?

Refrigerate after opening, as with most tomato-based barbecue sauces.

Check the bottle label for the current allergen and gluten statement, since formulations can change.

Our take on the Ray's No Sugar Added Sweet & Smoky Barbecue Sauce (Pack of 12)

Sweet Baby Ray's No Sugar Added Sweet & Smoky is a hickory-style barbecue sauce sweetened without added sugar, sold in 18.5 oz bottles. It keeps the thick, clingy texture and smoky-sweet profile the brand is known for, so it works as a glaze, a pour-over sauce and a dip. Compared with the original Sweet Baby Ray's, it trades some of the sugary punch for a smokier finish, which suits people cutting added sugar who still want a mainstream-tasting sauce. Rivals in the no-sugar space often run thinner or sharper; this one stays thick and mild.
