How fu:di Tomato Ketchup Compares to its Supermarket Peers

We’re breaking down how fu:di tomato ketchup stacks up when it comes to taste, ingredients, and macros.

When you’re trying to make better choices with the things you eat, it’s often the little changes that make a difference.

You might use Greek yoghurt instead of mayo in your pasta salad, or swap your usual tomato ketchup for fu:di’s no-added-sugar, lower-carb version.

It sounds like a small change, but if ketchup is something you use all the time, it can make a difference to your daily calorie and sugar intake.

So, how does fu:di Tomato Ketchup actually stack up against the other brands on the supermarket shelves? That’s what we’re digging into, comparing this healthier sauce with two other well-known brands.

fu:di tomato ketchup

fu:di have taken the classic condiment, cut the calories, but kept the taste.

It’s still authentically ketchupy with a big, bold flavour, just hacked to be healthier.

So let’s take a look at how fu:di tomato ketchup compares to the best-known brand and a big supermarket own-brand option.

How fu:di Tomato Ketchup compares

To see how fu:di Tomato Ketchup actually stacks up, we compared it with Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Tesco Tomato Ketchup.

That gives us the best-known ketchup brand, a big supermarket own-brand option, and fu:di’s healthier version side by side.

We looked at the ingredients first, then the macros per 15g serving.

fu:di Tomato Ketchup

fu:di Tomato Ketchup is made with 71% tomatoes, using passata and paste, along with plant-based sweeteners, fibres from chicory root, linseed, and citrus, spirit vinegar, sea salt, onion, monk fruit infusion, garlic, spices, and celery seed.

Per 15g serving, fu:di Tomato Ketchup has 7 calories, 2.5g carbs, 0.2g protein, and 0g salt.

You can get a 360g bottle for £4.25 from fu:di’s website.

Heinz Tomato Ketchup

Heinz Tomato Ketchup is made with tomatoes, spirit vinegar, sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts, and spice.

Per 15g serving, Heinz Tomato Ketchup has 15 calories, 3.5g carbs, 0.2g protein, and 0.3g salt.

You can get this ketchup in a range of sizes, but the 342g bottle costs around £2.50.

Tesco Tomato Ketchup

Tesco Tomato Ketchup is made with tomato purée, sugar, spirit vinegar, modified maize starch, salt, spices, flavourings, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Per 15g serving, Tesco Tomato Ketchup has 13 calories, 3g carbs, 0.2g protein, and 0.15g salt.

There aren’t as many options when it comes to the Tesco ketchup and the closest in size to the fu:di offering is the 555g bottle which costs £1.15.

What it all means

The first thing that stands out is the difference in calories.

fu:di Tomato Ketchup comes in at 7 calories per 15g serving, which is less than half the calories of Heinz and quite a bit lower than Tesco too.

The carb difference isn’t massive, because we’re still talking about a small serving of ketchup, but fu:di does come out lowest again. It has 2.5g carbs per 15g serving, compared to 3.5g in Heinz and 3g in Tesco.

After the calories, the biggest difference between fu:di Tomato Ketchup and the other brands is the ingredients list.

Heinz and Tesco both use sugar to give their ketchup that signature sweetness. But fu:di uses plant-based sweeteners instead, along with fibres from chicory root, linseed, and citrus.

The last difference you can’t really ignore is the price. Both Heinz and Tesco ketchups are cheaper than fu:di, but when it comes to price, it’s hard to fairly compare a small independent brand with supermarket giants.

So while fu:di Tomato Ketchup might not be the cheapest bottle on the table, the ingredients and macros do help explain the higher price. And for a lot of people, that extra couple of pounds is well worth it for a lower-calorie, sugar-free option.

Should you make the switch?

If dinner just isn’t dinner without tomato ketchup, but your usual brand isn’t doing your diet any favours, fu:di Tomato Ketchup is definitely worth trying.

It has half the calories of the best-known ketchup brand, zero sugar, and still gives you that classic ketchup taste – tangy and sweet, with a little bit of spice.

A 360g bottle costs £4.25, and you can use our fu:di discount code GYMFLUENCERS15 at the online checkout to save 15% on your order.

So if you’re looking for a healthier ketchup that still tastes like ketchup, fu:di Tomato Ketchup is the one.
