The catch

Every tablespoon carries 4g of sugar and 180mg of sodium from high fructose corn syrup and salt, and real world portions of two or three tablespoons triple both. (source)

The honest take

Heinz Tomato Ketchup is the classic American formula: tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, and two corn sweeteners in high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup, plus salt and spice. Per 1 tablespoon it runs 20 calories with 4g of sugar and 180mg of sodium, so on paper a single serving looks modest. The honest problem is portion size, because most people use two or three tablespoons on a burger or a plate of fries, which quickly stacks the added sugar and salt. If you want the real Heinz taste it delivers, but shoppers watching sugar have cleaner swaps in the no sugar added version or a low sodium bottle.
