Oyster sauce

Oyster sauce is a savoury condiment made with oyster extracts, used in cooking and as a seasoning. The figures here describe assorted types of prepared oyster sauce. Its main energy-providing nutrient is carbohydrate, at 17g per 100g, alongside 3.9g of protein and 0.1g of fat. Its salt content is high, at 10g per 100g.

Salt is a notable consideration for people monitoring their intake, as oyster sauce can add to the salt already present in a meal. It also provides vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. The amount of nutrients consumed depends on how much sauce is used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples; assorted types). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994.
