Swapping HFCS for cane sugar does not lighten the load, you still get about 4g of sugar and roughly 160mg of sodium per tablespoon, the same as standard Heinz. (source)
The honest take
Simply Heinz is regular Heinz ketchup with one real change, it is sweetened with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, and the ingredient list is short and recognizable. Nutritionally though it is almost a twin of the standard bottle, still about 4g of sugar and roughly 160mg of sodium in a single tablespoon, and most people pour more than that. If avoiding HFCS is your line in the sand this is a clean, easy swap, but do not read the Simply label as a lower sugar or lower sodium choice, because it is not.
