By Brian Bienkowski Kraft Heinz, the food giant behind dozens of popular brands including Oscar Mayer, Jell-O, Velveeta and Kool-Aid, will not launch any new foods with synthetic dyes and will remove the dyes from its current products by the end of 2027, the company said Tuesday.

    I’ve had ketchups that are unsweetened or sweetened with fruits like bananas apples and squash, and both are far better than the “tomato candy” that is commercial ketchup.

        It doesn’t taste like banana. I think they just use banana puree to sweeten it a bit.

        Edit: it’s not bananas.

          LOL, no added sugar, we’ve just added apple puree so there’s 12.5% sugar (2/16g) but we didn’t ADD any sugar (noting it’s 2g carbs then also 2g sugars which doesn’t sound right as well, the other 14g can’t entirely be fibre and water there will be some complex carbs in there )

          And damn is that Daily Value % misleading - it looks like the percentage of the product rather than recommended percent of diet

            It’s still about half the total sugar by weight than Heinz has (1g per 8g ketchup vs 1g per 5g ketchup from heinz).

            That said, I like unsweetened ketchup a lot better but it’s hard to find at a decent price. No sugars or sugar substitutes and no sweeteners like aspartame.

              Sure, you guys get a lot of sugar so anything is an improvement - I just grabbed a UK Heinz Ketchup and checked and it’s 11% sugars (that’s the 50% less sugar version though).
