Common questions

Is Ketchup healthy?

Ketchup scores 85/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Ketchup?

Ketchup lists 5 ingredients, starting with Tomato, Sea Salt, Spices, Apple Juice and Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
