I imagine that modified food starch is illegal, but having said that, there likely isn't very much in there.

Re: no carb ketchup

It is not zero carb. The portion size they list may be small and this would allow them to say zero but I would count at least 0.5 carb for the portion.
It has sweeteners in it that you probably should count against your daily sweetener count for the day.
I think Heinz makes a ketchup with splenda you may want to look for too.

Re: no carb ketchup

i count 1 carb per 2tbps which goes toward my 1 to 3 carbs of sweetner, and splenda is sucralose right so what would be the diference?

Re: no carb ketchup

I use Heinz Reduced Sugar (or Low Carb - whichever your area has) Tomato Ketchup. It has 1 gm of carbs and is made from:

Tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, salt, natural flavorings, onion powder, sucralose, spice.

There is another thread talking about it I saw this morning. I have made shrimp sauce with it a few times and haven't had any trouble with it. Heinz 1 Carb Reduced Sugar Ketchup Here is what it looks like. I get mine at Walmart or my local grocery store here.

Re: no carb ketchup

The Walden ketchup also as maltodextrose - which is another sweetener type additive. I would go for the one with less chemicals if I had the option and the Walden products generally are very chemical like. Just my personal choice. I just mentioned it in case you did not know about that option.

Liv, can you get the Heinz one where you live? I haven't seen it around here...I may have to pick some up next time I go to the States

Re: no carb ketchup

Julie it is worth getting the Heinz. The taste IMHO is far superior to the Walden stuff.

Re: no carb ketchup

I've heard that...but it's tough getting low-carb anything where I live. I went down to the States about 6 weeks ago & stocked up on a few things..like sugar-free BBQ sauce. I usually only go once or twice a year...I could mail-order some stuff, but I'm afraid to even look on the sites right now - I know I'd want to order things I shouldn't

Re: no carb ketchup

How on earth do you all manage to find these low-carb alternatives? My grocery store has none of these! So frustrating, particularly since I know the products are out there...

Re: no carb ketchup

I don't find many low carb products where I live. Finally decided it is probably better for me...without all the low carb products I am pretty much forced to keep things simple. I did just score some of the Heinz ketchup when I was in NY last weekend...I am so happy to have it.

Re: no carb ketchup

Whats, I agree with you--- it is MUCH easier for me toabide by the rules in China where there isn't anything to tempt me.

Re: no carb ketchup

Thanks!!

I take ketchup (1tbsp usually) and 1/2 tsp horseradish and a little lemon (to taste), mix it all together and eat it....if you like more horseradish go for it -- I have been known to add equal amounts of ketchup and horseradish when I feel the need!!
