I don’t know that they’d need to be, though. British-style baked beans come in tomato sauce. I just checked my tins, and they’re 36% tomato according to the ingredients list. Unfortunately they’re not that cheap anymore. We pay over CDN$2+tax per tin these days if you buy the multipack. A far cry from the CDN$1.50 all-in those Tesco beans would be.

It's worse than you think — those are the more expensive brand in that supermarket.

The cheap baked beans from the same supermarket are just under 1/3 that price per tin: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/299669062
