Salsa de tomate Catsup
High-sugar, high-sodium ultra-processed condiment; tomato benefits outweighed by additives and poor nutritional profile.
High in added sugars and sodium; may not suit low-sugar, low-sodium, or sensitive digestive diets. No major allergens noted but refrigerate after opening.
What's the verdict?
Standard ultra-processed ketchup with tomato base providing minor antioxidants but elevated added sugar from fructose and sodium levels. Used globally as a versatile condiment but offers limited nutritional density.
Ingredients
6 listed · 3 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Tomato Puree (Base Ingredient)Beneficial
Derived from concentrated tomatoes, supplies lycopene and antioxidants associated with lower heart disease and cancer risks plus vitamins A and C.
- Fructose (Sweetener)Caution
Added sugar that contributes to high glycemic load, weight gain, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and increased calorie consumption.
- Cane Alcohol Vinegar (Acidifier/Preservative)
Provides tanginess and preservation with minimal nutritional effect; may offer minor blood sugar benefits in larger quantities but negligible here.
- Iodized Salt (Flavoring/Preservative)Caution
Supplies iodine for thyroid support but the sodium increases risks of elevated blood pressure, fluid retention, and cardiovascular strain with frequent use.
- CMC (Carboxymethylcellulose, Thickener)Caution
Cellulose-derived additive for texture; FDA-approved but ongoing debate on potential gut microbiome disruption, bloating, or inflammation in sensitive consumers.
- Spices (Flavoring)
Small amounts of natural spices for taste; may contribute trace antioxidants but overall minimal positive or negative health effects in this formulation.
