Mon Ozesauce Tomato Sauce

Mon Ozesauce Tomato Sauce is a prominent Australian condiment known for its commitment to local sourcing and community support. The brand is owned by MON Natural Foods, a company with roots dating back to 1899 when it was founded as Manger & O'Neill in Echuca, Victoria. Originally producing aerated waters and cordials, the company expanded into tomato products and became a household staple, especially noted for its supply to the Australian armed forces during World War II.

The product is manufactured at the company's facility in Barooga, New South Wales, where it has been produced since the factory relocated there in 2012. A distinctive feature of Mon Ozesauce is its focus on using 100% Australian-grown tomatoes and naturally fermented vinegar, distinguishing it from many competitors that rely on imported concentrates. The brand is also well-known for its partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia, often donating 50 cents from every bottle sold to support beach safety and volunteer training.

While many Australian food brands have been acquired by multinational corporations, MON Natural Foods remains a 100% Australian-owned private entity. This ownership structure ensures that the brand's investment and profits stay within Australia, supporting regional farmers and local employment.
