10 Best Tomato Ketchups 2024 | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

Made from good quality tomatoes with no preservatives or artificial colourings, and not even a thickening agent, this ketchup is as good as it gets! The great recipe gives you a tangy, natural taste that you'll find sweet and enjoyable no matter your taste.

With its great balance of sweet and savoury, moderate sugar content and a convenient squeezy bottle, Tesco's offering has become a dominant player in the line of ketchups – so much so that it is now considered a preferable alternative to the market leaders. It's our number one because it manages to do all this for only 65 pence!

Composed of whole tomatoes and brown sugar as a major ingredient, this sauce stands tall among others. As well as a lower GI, brown sugar means that you get fewer calories per gram than you would with regular sugar. One for those who know how damaging those unburnt calories can be!

Better yet, the brown sugar molasses leaves slightly more minerals for you to consume in your ketchup, in addition to the richer texture it brings to the table. All in all, you get a tangy and distinct flavour that will no doubt be a delightful complement to your chips, pizza or fancy fry up.

Fancy trying something different? This Norwegian tomato ketchup is a real family favourite! Not only does it have that bright red colour characteristic of Norwegian tomatoes, but it also has a lovely texture that is both smooth and thick. 

Loved by families for its impressive consistency, it makes a wonderful condiment for hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, and barbecues. Also, it's less acidic than other ketchups, making it great for anyone who finds other brands a bit too vinegary. 

Gone are the days when vegans and vegetarians alike spent countless hours trying to investigate the origins and processes that had gone into a product. This ketchup is certified by the Vegan Society, meaning you won't have to worry about the contents.

Asda's classic tomato sauce, as you'd expect, is very affordable and comes in a large 970 g squeezy bottle that's perfect for families. It's loaded with cayenne pepper and garlic powder for a slightly spicy taste, which is great if you like a little more oomph to your condiments.

This organic product also comes in a pack of 6 glass bottles with aluminium lids. The packaging method is safe, reusable, and perfect for people wanting to cut down on plastics. It also adds a feeling of premium authenticity that really has an impact on how it tastes.

Made from a special blend of herbs and spices, this ketchup has a sophisticated flavour that is enhanced by agave syrup. The agave nectar is actually sweeter than sugar, yet possesses a low glycemic index which keeps blood sugar levels in check. 

This is the only ketchup awarded 5 stars in The Times Condiment Taste Test, a testament to its high quality and superb taste! It comes in a pack of six, which means it is quite cost-effective and will last you a while. 

Although it is not absolutely without sodium, it has over 75% less salt than many other ketchups. Also, it is free from refined sugars, fruit syrups or other high-fructose ingredients, and instead uses Scandinavian xylitol, a natural sweetener.

Heinz ketchup has been a staple since 1886. Happily, for those who would rather have no sugar or salt in their diet, you don't have to sacrifice your usual tomato sauce. It is a healthier alternative if you're looking to watch your intake, with all the flavour of the classic recipe. 

Also, it contains celery which supports digestion and adds a lovely savoury flavour, though it should be avoided if you're allergic to herb extracts. This product is ideal for people with diabetes or high blood pressure. However, some may find that the artificial sweetener used, sucralose, is a tad distasteful. 

This is a special ketchup with a recipe that has been a Wilkin family favourite for several decades. Made from the finest Mediterranean plum tomatoes, the contents of each bottle have been prepared with special care to bring you only the best!

With lemon juice as an added ingredient, it has a distinct lemony flavour that awakens your tastebuds, making even the soggiest chips more enticing! Like most luxury products, it can be a bit of an acquired taste as well as being a little on the sugary side. 

Here's a ketchup with naturally-occurring sugars that are that little bit better for your health as well as being free from added sweeteners. Specifically, it contains date paste, made up of dates and rice flour, which is one of the best natural sweeteners used in ketchup. 

Dates have vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, iron and vitamin B6, to name a few. Just be mindful that you have to do a little shaking to get it out of its short-necked bottle.

You might have heard that Italian tomatoes taste better, and indeed, there really is something very special about them! The mineral-rich soil of the various regions of Italy coupled with a stable temperature throughout the year helps develop tomatoes with practically seedless flesh.

It is these specially-grown tomatoes that are sourced by Stokes to produce this unique product. The fleshy Italian pomodoro results in a ketchup that is juicy and tasty. What a perfect complement to the great British breakfast! This bottle is a bit pricey, though, so be prepared to whip out a few extra quid for its premium taste.
