Tomato ketchup has been getting gradually sweeter over the years as more and more sugar is added to everything, and as people become more acclimatised to sweetness, more sugar is added, creating a negative spiral towards excess sugar intake. Adding sugar to tomato ketchup is often done to mask unripe or poor-quality tomatoes as anyone who has grown tomatoes, or buys the premium option will know that tomatoes are naturally very sweet. So sticking to their philosophy Hunter and Gather have cut back on the ingredients list and created a tomato sauce just sweetened with the premium tomatoes themselves.
 
Sugar is not the only thing to avoid in ketchup, there are many no added sugar options out there but they often contain other sweeteners which whilst may not cause the damage sugar does, they may yet be a factor behind other health conditions. For this reason it is always best to just pick a product with a shorter ingredients list, making this unsweetened tomato ketchup from Hunter & Gather a great option.
