How the Product Is Presented
Good Ingredients, But Not a Low-Sugar Ketchup
The Gourmet Jar Klassic Ketchup has a relatively straightforward
formulation with 70% tomatoes, raw sugar, vinegar, olive oil and spices.
The absence of listed additives and preservatives is a positive.
However, the product contains 13 g added sugar and 1107 mg sodium per
100 g. Therefore, its “low calorie” positioning should not be confused
with being low in sugar or sodium.
