Heinz Tomato Ketchup 900g — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Heinz Tomato Ketchup 900g by Heinz TREAT — score 45/90.

A simple, short ingredient list, but sugar is the second ingredient right after tomato paste, ahead of vinegar and salt. It's basically a sweet condiment to enjoy in small amounts, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of vinegar and salt
• Tomato paste is only 26% and reconstituted from water
• Added sugar means a quick blood-sugar spike if you use a lot
• Short, recognizable list with no artificial colors or starches
• Best treated as a sweet condiment, not a daily health pick
