Tomato Ketchup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Lidl Tomato Ketchup scores 65/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 0g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

Lidl Tomato Ketchup lists 12 ingredients, starting with Water, Double Concentrated Tomato Paste, Sugar, Brandy Vinegar and Modified Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

12 kcal per serving, or 81 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Lidl Tomato Ketchup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 65/100 Lidl Tomato Ketchup lands mid-scale — below the typical score in ketchup & mustard, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in ketchup & mustard is Smash Kitchen Organic Tomato Ketchup at 100/100.
