Ray's No Sugar Added Sweet & Smoky Barbecue Sauce

Ray's No Sugar Added is a health-conscious brand extension of the world-famous Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce line. The original brand was founded in Chicago, Illinois, by Chef Larry Raymond, who entered his family recipe into the Mike Royko Ribfest in 1985 and won. The brand's rapid success led to its acquisition by Ken's Foods, Inc., a family-owned dressings and sauces company based in Massachusetts.

The product is primarily manufactured in the United States, utilizing Ken's Foods' extensive production facilities across Georgia, Massachusetts, and Nevada. The brand is recognized for its authentic American BBQ profile while catering to low-sugar and ketogenic dietary preferences. As we look toward 2026, the brand remains under the private ownership of the Hanna and Crowley families via Ken's Foods, maintaining its position as a market leader in the sauce and condiment industry.
