Tomato Ketchup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Heinz Tomato Ketchup scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Heinz Tomato Ketchup lists 8 ingredients, starting with Organic Tomato Concentrate From Red Ripe Organic Tomatoes, Distilled Vinegar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Heinz Tomato Ketchup scores worse than most ketchup & mustard we have scored. A higher-scoring option in ketchup & mustard is Smack Kitchen Organic Tomato Ketchup at 100/100.
