Tomato Ketchup — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Tomato Ketchup by Tomato Ketchup TREAT — score 43/90.
A standard Heinz-style squeeze ketchup: tomato concentrate carrying two corn sweeteners. High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup together make this roughly a quarter sugar by weight, so treat it as the sweet condiment it is and use it in spoonfuls, not puddles.
Why this verdict
- High fructose corn syrup is the second ingredient, with corn syrup right behind it
- Two distinct sweeteners - sweetness is built, not incidental
- Roughly 23g sugar per 100g and notable sodium
- Short, familiar condiment list used in small amounts
