Heinz Organic Tomato Ketchup (BIO) — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Heinz Organic Tomato Ketchup (BIO) by Heinz OKAY — score 60/90.
Organic and short on ingredients, but sugar is the second thing in the bottle. It's tomatoes plus a real dose of sugar, salt, and vinegar.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable ingredient list with no artificial additives or preservatives
- Made from real organic tomatoes (180g per 100g of ketchup)
- Added sugar is the #2 ingredient, so it delivers a real sugar and salt hit
- Still a sweet, salty condiment best used in small amounts
Ingredients (7)
- Organic Tomatoes (safe) — Real tomato base at 180g per 100g of finished ketchup; brings lycopene, vitamins, and actual food value.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- vinegar (safe) — Spirit vinegar for flavour and mild preservation.
- Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
- Spices (contains celery) (safe) — Flavor from real spices; celery is an allergen to note but not a health concern.
- ONION POWDER (safe) — Dried seasoning, harmless.
- GARLIC POWDER (safe) — Dehydrated aromatic for seasoning.
