Manufacturer product pageHow scoring works
The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.
This product: 9 of 9 groups not on the label. Organic claim confirmed.

Our research notes
What to know before you choose these ketchup, mayo & condiments
The recorded ingredient label lists 19 ingredients, led by water, tamari sauce and apple cider vinegar. Worth noting: it lists added sweeteners (cane sugar and molasses). None of the other additive groups we check appear. The maker describes it as organic and gluten free; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For these ketchup, mayo & condiments, the comparison that matters most is condiment style: compare ketchup, mayo, barbecue sauce or salsa within its own style.

- Good signNone of the nine additive groups we check (seed oils, artificial dyes, MSG, artificial sweeteners, carrageenan, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, corn syrups, banned-abroad additives) appear on the recorded label.
