LoCCo Gluten Free Low Calorie Ketchup Sauce 500ml; Slimming Food for Keto Paleo Dukan Diet

Decent enough ketchup really not quite Heinz quality but slightly better than say Asda which I find quite awful. Not gooey like some of the cheaper brands or runny either. I go through tons of this stuff due to the kids wanting to use ketchup on pretty much anything so this does represent good value for money.

Like some other reviewers, I was a little sceptical when first offered this tomato ketchup to review. Being low calorie, I expected it to be watery and flavourless but it's a pretty decent incarnation of the more calorific versions - so as a substitute for anyone on a really closely controlled diet, or someone who needs no sugar, no gluten ketchup -- this is a good alternative. It is made in Poland for 'AmerPharma Trade'. You get 500 mL. After water, the ingredients include 11% tomato puree, vinegar, salt, thickeners, citrus fibre, paprika, sweetener in the form of sucralose and preservative in the form of potassium sulphate.Once opened, you need to keep this refrigerated. Oddly, it doesn't appear to say how long you should keep it for once it's opened. Regular bottles, cite 6 weeks. I can't believe this last indefinitely in the fridge. But if it does, then it may be worth the investment if you like the flavour.For flavour I would have to give it 4 stars. Unfortunately, as it is priced around six pounds (at present) for a bottle the size of which I can get a standard one for under a pound, I have had to knock one star off!

Ok, let's be realistic. What can you expect if all the goodness, richness, sweetness, every single calorie of all that is....removed from the formula? You will get something funny, liquidy, remotely resembling rich tomato sauce we are so used to, with not too much flavour, but all the Mendeleev's table in, right? Correct! That's what you get! But hey, you knew it had a the goodness sucked out, didn't you? So....can you complain? At the very least you now can add a bit of flavour to otherwise even more blunt and tasteless slimming food and convince yourself you are eating proper good....almost. 🤦🤦🤦🤪🤪It's not bad at all. It does taste tomatoey...to an extent. And you get a lot of it!

Compared to the standard brands this LoCCo Low-Sugar Ketchup lacks any real substance, there’s no real texture to it and it’s a bit gelatinous. However we thought the flavour was really good and it’s got a sweet and tangy tomato-ness that’s really tasty and a pretty good match for the well-known varieties. We’ve tried a few of the RoCCo sauces and they seem to all have a similar gelatinous base which is then flavoured to resemble the conventional sugar-rich options, it’s not always very successful but this Ketchup is probably the best of them.If you really have to avoid sugar and/or gluten then I would recommend this as an option, you might lose a little texture but you keep all the flavour and there’s no saccharine aftertaste. The bottle’s a decent size and has a drip-free valve that keeps things neater too. It’s worth a try.

It doesn’t taste nice.

I have PCOS and therefore need to adhere to a low carb, low sugar, no diary, plant based diet. No fun huh?! I LOVE ketchup, especially with my fries but normal ketchup usually has a very high salt and sugar content :( Not this stuff! I literally could not taste the difference whatsoever and neither could my two little ones. Highly recommended! Excellent price, do it for your health!

To be absolutely honest, I am a ketchup hater who lives with 4 women who love it. So I got them all to try it and to do some taste tests with the ultimate product - Heinz Ketchup! Uniformly they preferred this to Heinz (!!! I am gobsmacked !!)It is more tomato-like than Heinz and less sugary, so that it tastes less artificial, My daughters went as far as asking if we can ditch the product we have used all their lives and go exclusively over to this one!I don't know that there is a need to say any more than my family are ketchup experts and know what they like, and so I have to bow to their opinion, so it is -- more tomato-ey- less sugary- doesn't taste artificialIt tastes good as a relish, with meat, as a dip with chips and really is a great product.I unequivocally recommend this product and suggest that you try it too!

I had some pre-expectations that this might not taste very nice, as lo-cal products very often don't. Actually it doesn't taste at all unpleasant - OK without being spectacular. It tastes like watered down ketchup, which is basically what it is (water the first ingredient on the list, with 11% tomato paste the second), with added thickeners to make it 'dippable' like a standard ketchup, and artificial sweetener (sucralose) to replace the sugar. The colour is a bit more orangey than the rich red hue you would expect from, for example, H**nz.As to the "1 calorie per serving" this figure applies to 5ml, i.e. a teaspoon. Now I don't know about you, but if you gave me a "serving" of 1tsp of ketchup I would give you an evil look which says "what the bloody hell do you call that?" Looking at a bottle of H**nz ketchup, that gives a figure of 15 calories per 15g, i.e. 5 per 5g. Now I know there's not an exact ml to g equivalence here, but we're talking about a fifth of the calories of a standard ketchup. Sounds a lot, but that's about 12 calories difference in a tablespoon. It's up to you to decide whether that kind of saving is worth it.
