🌱 So What Are the Alternatives?
If you love ketchup but want to avoid the hidden sugars and additives, you don’t have to give it up. Try these instead:
-
Organic ketchup – Many brands use cane sugar and skip artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
-
No sugar added ketchup – Brands like Primal Kitchen or True Made use veggies for natural sweetness.
-
Homemade ketchup – With simple ingredients like tomato paste, vinegar, and a touch of honey or maple syrup.
🔍 Final Thoughts: Should You Really Avoid Heinz?
The phrase “Avoid Heinz Ketchup like the plague” might sound extreme — but it’s really about raising awareness. If you’re trying to cut back on processed sugar or limit artificial ingredients, Heinz may not be your best option.
In moderation, it’s not going to hurt most people. But for those watching their sugar intake or looking for cleaner labels, there are better choices out there that deliver flavor without the added junk.
