Review Snapshot
Ingredient Analysis
Organic Jaggery, Brewed Vinegar, Salt, Pectin
The formulation is primarily tomato-based, with the product label stating
85% tomatoes. Organic jaggery is used as the sweetener,
while brewed vinegar, salt and other listed ingredients complete the formulation.
The supplied label does not list artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Pectin is listed on the nutrition/ingredient panel, so the broader claim of
“no additives” should not be interpreted as meaning the product contains no
functional food ingredients at all.

What the Laboratory Report Shows

Important finding:

a stated requirement of 30 mg/kg. The report also measured total sugars at
17.6g/100g and sodium at 1914mg/100g.
How the Product Is Presented
A Strong Tomato-Based Ketchup With Some Caveats
Orchard Lane stands out for its stated 85% tomato content, organic
ingredients and absence of artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.
The supplied laboratory report also provides useful heavy-metal and
quality testing results. However, the product does contain added jaggery,
and the laboratory reported 17.6g total sugars and 1914mg sodium per 100g.
Because these laboratory figures should be considered alongside the
packaging information, we recommend treating the product’s low-sugar and
low-sodium positioning with some caution.
