Finally
The nutrition of Worcestershire sauce depends primarily on how much and the recipe/brand you use.
While many use the same ingredients, there are variations.
So, if you are making this sauce from home from scratch, you do need to be mindful of how much of each ingredient you use. Especially if you are watching your carbohydrates or sodium.
Thankfully, if you are purchasing this condiment at the store or online, the product packaging should clearly state its nutritional breakdown.
Although, you may need to do some math!
