Still contains the same amount of sugar so just about as bad for you.

- JoeAltmaier 11y agoTurns out the standard for ketchup includes that sugar. If you don't put it in, they make you call it 'imitation ketchup'. My local grocery makes their own, and has a sign explaining this.
- commentzorro 11y agoWell then, I guess it's time we all switch to catsup. (Sorry) I was surprised about the mandate for sugar. I wanted to see who managed to get that rule passed. A quick search led me to the FDA site for rules of catsup: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=155.194 http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRS... There doesn't appear to be any requirement for sugars here. Maybe your grocer got it wrong?
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoOr maybe I'm an old guy, and the rules changed :) That doc does list sweetener, but its one of three ingredients listed as "one, or any two or more" which I guess means one or more?
- throw7 11y agoHey now, I get it, but this is a good step that big foods are moving toward ingredients you can read. Heinz has a reduced sugar ketchup... unfortunately that is just shifted to sucralose and I'd rather just have sugar personally.
