Thank you Steve for the review. I'm just listing your preferences here as a quick reference so I don't have to watch it again. But it's well worth it to watch the whole video. All are good, but here are their choices: 1. Heinz no added sugar. Best price. 2. Primal. Close to Heinz except for cost. 3. Ketchup Please 4. C. G. Hughes
Primal Kitchen has an organic & unsweetened version that I really like. It has 10 calories & 2 carbs per tablespoon, no sugar or any other sugar substitute. Tangy taste to it and the cleanest ingredients I've seen.
This is the kind of a review I really can benefit from. Ingredients, cost & flavor comparisons. Magnificent! Thank You & Your lovely assistant for Your diligence in bringing us Truth!! 😍
I used to buy Primal Kitchen but it was pricey. In Canada, I found French's no sugar ketchup. It's delicious and tasted like the real thing at a much lower price. The ingredients are clean as well (tomato paste, white vinegar, water, salt, Stevia extract, seasoning). The texture is thick as well. I love it.
@@binglamb2176 French's is my favourite, both taste wise and price wise. It's the same price as regular French's, so I can often get it for under $4 on sale, whereas Primal is at least double that. I also find Primal's taste to be... heavy? Almost like pure tomato paste. French's tastes like regular ketchup and the stevia doesn't have an aftertaste.
The closest we have to a local sugar free ketchup is French's. They restarted the Canadian factory after Heinz abruptly shutdown and laid everyone off. I agree with your G. Hughs assessment.
Yes, the French’s is the best. Haven’t tried the Heinz just because why get the one with sucralose when you can get the stevia-sweetened French’s. Also there’s a stevia-sweetened one from President’s Choice’s Blue Menu but there are two versions so make sure you’re getting the right one.
I have also tried the "Good Food Good For You" ketchup. It's sweetened with dates. Per serving is 1g sugar and total carb 2g. It is darker in color and is tomatoey. It's ok but Heinz spices are more like catsup
I am a ketchup fanatic and a heinz fan for life. I like my food swimming in ketchup and I would bring a small bottle of heinz to restaurants I knew didn't have Heinz...I could always taste a difference. Now I use the sugar free heinz and am thrilled that it tastes great! Glad you two found it to be like the original too.
You two make such a good team on the review. Thanks for sharing your findings. I love ketchup so always appreciate input from others to figure out what I want to get.
Thank you for taste testing and rating all of these-I was thinking I was missing out because we've only been getting the Heinz no sugar added. It's been the easiest to get at my grocery store.
Excellent test. Steve, you have said this many times, you would not show it unless you did not spike your BG, so I trust that. I don't use ketchup often anymore but when I do I have the Heinz. Reason is because every grocery store has that. It is expensive compared to "normal" Ketchup but tastes like normal ketchup. The G-Huges I only buy for the BBQ sauce. I like several flavors and they are also too watery like the ketchup. Primal ketchup is way too expensive. Thank you for the test. I feel good now to continue buying Heinz. I made my own before. Its easy and also great but it does not last that long and I got lazy.
G Hughes does make a decent BBQ sauce, although once we found a sugar free Sweet Baby Ray's. My husband found it, but of course, he can't remember where, and I've not seen it since. 😢
@@maidenminnesota1 It is marketed as "Ray's" and not Sweet Baby Rays, in the sugar free version. I wonder if that would make it easier for you to find? All our big markets have it including Walmart.
Thanks for the reviews. I ordered the Primal Kitchen ketchup a year or so ago and didn’t really like it, so I went back to Heinz Sugar Free… I hadn’t even noticed that they’d changed from sucralose to stevia, so I had to check the label on my current bottle and wow, stevia. I could swear it was sweetened with sucralose when I first started buying it. I’ve never had a problem using sucralose, but I think stevia is less processed. Great to know! Another bonus with using Heinz is that when they are on sale or have a coupon for Heinz, they include the sugar free as well.
I like the way you both gave more detail of what the back notes were. I like Heinz for just basic ketchup flavor but the other ones bring a little bit of something else. Its nice to have variety so you can enhance whatever you are using it for. Good job !
My wife went into labor on Friday the 13th and the Hospital gave her a shot and stopped the labor. She went into labor again 1 week later and gave birth on Friday the 20th. We have about 7 different Katsups and about 9 different bottles of Mustard. We use them for everything from Potato Salad to Meatloaf, to BBQ sauces, to our version of Mac Sauce. We also have several types of Mayonnaise and Miricle Whip. We are fixing to use two different low carb breads to make Croutons and then make Stuffing, so we have Low Carb Stuffing for the Holidays. Using HERO Bread and SOLA Bread to make the Croutons and to make the Stuffing from Croutons.
I can get my carb eating family on board with Heinz. I very rarely do ketchup only... but I have made a 'big mac sauce' with the Heinz for our burger bowls.
I had been mixing GHuges with regular ketchup for a couple of years to compromise because the Huges was too thin and vinegary for me. This week I discovered the no sugar Heinz so I bought it but haven't tried it yet. I'm glad you gave it a good rating.
Thank you for this review. Catsup isn't something I use a lot, but kind of a staple item to have, so very nice to have a this review. Thank you very much.
Great video! I've been using the Heinz for years (when I don't make my own) because it is the cleanest in terms of ingredients and does cost less. Thanks for confirming my choice Steve & Courtney!! ♥️
I agree w/the Heinz. It tastes so good, why would anyone use the one filled w/sugar-aside from the price. It still blows my mind the price we have to pay to get healthier food. Drives me nuts! I really do like the G Hughes for a big mac sauce due to it being a bit sweeter tasting. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Steve and Courtney for the great review! I normally buy the Primal Kitchen, but after seeing this I am going to try the Heinz so I can save some money.
Hi Steve and Courtney! Good evaluation!! I have not seen the Ketchup Please in Colorado, but sure agree on the others. I usually alternate between the Heinz and Primal Kitchen depending on sales. I do like that the Heinz saves me a carb.😊
Thanks for your research Steve! Ketchup is something that I always had strong opinions on- the only thing I ever used it for was French fries. After trying a bunch of keto French fry replacement recipes and not finding one that I thought was a valid replacement I just gave up on ketchup since I was not going to ever need it on my keto journey. And then I remembered cocktail sauce for shrimp, which is almost always full of ingredients that have useless carbs in them so I do keep a bottle of the primal kitchen ketchup in my pantry to mix with horseradish when I make shrimp cocktail. Frankly even way before starting keto I never understood why ketchup had any sweetener in it anyway.
I’ve only tried Heinz and Primal and I have both in the house. I got a great deal on Primal a few months ago and stocked up (3.99 a container). Normally it is around $6 in the stores around here. I like Heinz and use it often. I am not a fan of most of G. Hughes only because of the use of Sucralose but I have tried a few of their sauces and buy them occasionally. The Caribbean Jerk is pretty good although not as spicy as it should be. Great review guys!!
I agree the Heinz is number 1 if you're looking for ketchup as close to the real thing for taste and texture. I will tell you if you have a Meier in your area, they have a sugar free that is really comparable and 2 bucks cheaper than Heinz. I will have to look at ingredients to see if comparable. My BF is diabetic and it doesn't spike his blood sugar. Thanks for sharing!!
The thin brand (G Hughes) basically makes BBQ sauces after a certain ethnic tradition.... Good but thinner than ketchup. While I like Heinz, I quit buying that brand years ago.
Courtney had a memorable statement about the heinz no sugar added that she would buy It because It's the cheapest one.I love the way she said that but nevertheless I make your recipe for my keto ketchup.Thanks Steve you two did an Excellent review.
Thanks Steve and Courtney for your evaluation. I would give the 2 carb with honey a miss. Not sure about cane alcohol in the ketchup up please. To me I thought Hines had the cleanest ingredients so I’ll stick with it. The Hines definitely taste more like ketchup. Thanks for another great review.
I decided on the Heinz No Sugar several years ago. Surprising how keto clean it seems to be. GHughes for BBQ sauce. Luckily Mustard is pretty much zero carb.
Great video as always and with Courtney its a plus.....I havent bought any "KETO" ketchup since ive been making yours(like forever) I would if I had to buy the Heinz or Primal kitchen but that other one #3 sounds interesting because you said it has a roasted taste and I like that...Julianna NC
Thanks for doing this! I've been using Heinz no sugar added for several years now and have loved it, but when they replaced the sweetener they were using with stevia a year or so ago, I thought it was terrible (I can't bear any amount of stevia in anything--it leaves a bad, bitter aftertaste.) Now I make my own Heinz knockoff and it's the best ketchup I have ever had!
Hi, Steve- The Regular Primal Kitchen Ketchup has no added sugars, vs the 'tad bit sweet' version containing 1 gram from the honey. I like the original, but I do mix it with Frank's Original Hot Sauce. Only use it to top my carnivore meatloaf. 😋
Suggestion for a future comparison: do an across the board comparison of the family of products put out by G Hughes. Most are very low cal in addition to low carbs. I like that family of products!
Thank you for your comparison. I thought my only option was the C. G. Hugh’s ketchup. I am going to try the Heinz version as it is cheaper and easier to find in stock.
Sooooo, who says "catsup"? Nobody up north does ;-) Went way south once in the early 90's, and in a greasy spoon restaurant asked for ketchup, and the response was "wat's dat?". Glad to see what I've been using, the Heinz one, is passable.
I get the Heinz. Seems good to me. *But haven't had "regular" ketchup in a few years. Plus? My taste for sweet has completely changed. Mildly sweet foods or sauces taste like pure sugar now. Thanks you two!
I used to eat the primal kitchen, and the price soared out of control. I’m in California and last I saw they wanted 13.00 for a small bottle. I went searching for another option and I was surprised to see how clean the Heinz was. I’ve been eating it ever since. Not to mention I’ve had so much trouble since I don’t like them to be too sweet, and don’t like the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners that are over done.
My local California Walmart stores carry Primal kitchen products including the unsweetened non-spicy smaller glass bottles for $6. I buy mine online for slightly cheaper with the discount so like ~ $5 and stock up on the 🌶️ version as I love sauces way too much 😅
@@Simply.Katelyn I think I’ve switched to Heinz at this point. Though always good to know that it’s been found cheaper. My Walmart hasn’t stocked it and typically I will find it at Safeway or Nob Hill, and sometimes Whole Foods. All places that charge premium prices. I use ketchup as a base for many of my sauces, including my keto sloppy joes. Thanks for the tip though!
I was interested in your review of Heinz as that’s what I use. I find it tastes exactly the same as the regular type. Plus cost is the cheapest (I only shop sales) I’m happy to see you liked this brand also. I was afraid it would bomb. lol! Always love your reviews
Thanks for the comparisons! I only wish that they were all in glass due to the acid from the vinegar and tomato leaching endocrine disruptors from the plastic!
Primal kitchen also makes the ketchup in glass but it is smaller size: 11.3 oz glass bottle. They have 2 versions. Both unsweetened but one is not spicy (no honey) and a spicy version. 🌶️ I love spicy so I hope they will later make them in bigger glass bottles as well
For me, the Heinz ketchup packets from McDonald’s were always my favorite ketchup. Not sure why it was different from the store bought bottles, but it always was. I think that the vinegar was more forward in the packets, perfect for fries. The no sugar added version is very close to the McD’s ketchup packets.
I love French's No Sugar ketchup now. It tastes the closest to regular Heinz that I have found....though I love my own better, it is quite labor intensive.
"Yo Mama's" also has a keto ketchup. It's sweetened with monk fruit, and has tomato paste, water, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard seed, and bay leaf, as the other ingredients. As to turning the J. Hughs ketchup into a glaze, I might mix it with the J. Hughs orange ginger marinade, pineapple ginger marinade, or their Thai chili wing sauce.
I'd like to add my quirky issue: plastic bottles and acidic tomatoes, Lord knows what is leaching into the sauce from the plastic! So I'm a G Hughes Ketchup fan, due to the glass bottle. If he quits or plastic-a-fies, I'll make my own. I do not use ketchup for dipping anyway, but only to use in Southern Keto's Copycat "Peter Luger Steak Sauce", so consistency is not an issue. Besides healthy choices, Pray Over and Bless Your Food, really that's the best thing we can do at this toxic point in the American Diet. Be Blessed!
I know I've been using the Heinz No Sugar Added for years... it's just what I prefer. Like you said, also affordable & (as of late) easier to find. I can't eat any of thy G. Hughes sauces, they're all too sweet for me. Just wish I could still find Ray's No Sugar Added BBQ sauces... but, our stores have dropped that line ( also made by G Hughes, from what I remember?).
Thanks for this taste test. I have been looking for a replacement for your least favorite, as it has’t satisfied me. I should be able to source the Heinz., though it isn’t carried by my local grocery. I’m headed for your homemade ketchup video next to see if that would be even better. Thanks again!
Primal Kitchen is more expensive than steak but I love it. The Ketchup Please has “cane alcohol” which I assume is erythritol? Great review as always. Brilliant pair of testers!
It's listed as part of the stevia, so my guess is that they're using liquid stevia and that the "cane alcohol" is probably liquid erythritol or xylitol.
Thank you Steve for the review. I'm just listing your preferences here as a quick reference so I don't have to watch it again. But it's well worth it to watch the whole video.

@PetiteD Was not aware that PC had one as well. Will be on the lookout for that
@@PetiteDThe Heinz no sugar added ketchup now has stevia not sucralose. That's the one Steve and Courtney tested.😊
Please note: Primal Litchen has two different “keto” ketchups. One has a touch of honey, the other uses either sucralose or stevia.

Glad to see Heinz not using "keto" or "no sugar" as a marketing excuse for jacking up the price.
It's a bit more expensive, but not the usual "keto premium" that brands often charge.
NOBODY puts katsup on a hotdog. - Harry Callahan. 😂
I switched my hubby (non-Keto) to the Heinz and he has never complained so that’s my taste test! 😂
We use the No Sugar Added Heinz in our house. It tastes most like regular ketchup to me.
Thanks for the video, Steve and Courtney! ❤❤
Wow, I actually picked the right ketchup all by myself. Heinz is the only one I've tried but it definitely tastes like real ketchup.
I have both the Heinz No Sugar Added and the Primal Kitchen ketchup in my fridge right now and, while I like both, I really like Heinz the best!
The thin brand (G Hughes) basically makes BBQ sauces after a certain ethnic tradition.... Good but thinner than ketchup. While I like Heinz, I quit buying that brand years ago.
I don't have the 3rd one, but for the other three, I agree. Heinz is #1. Primal K #2, maybe not sweet enough, #3 G. Hughes, too sweet, but yummy.

I’m glad I could confirm your good decision. 😉👍🏻
Thank you for the review. Heinz has changed to stevia because they use to use sucralose and I wouldn’t use it. Now I will give it a try. 🎉
Heinze No Sugar, reminds me of when I was a kid eating at Krolls restaurant in Green Bay

Heinz over all, no sugars, and Primal is too sweet and to expensive

I wish I remembered the name. If I see it Aldi again, I’ll make sure to get the name.
@@SeriousKetothanks! Aldi is a helpful clue anyway. I'll check next time I'm there. Do update if it comes to you.
Heinz all the way for me. I make my sugar free cherry Dr Pepper BBQ sauce with it. So good

Now I make my own Heinz knockoff and it's the best ketchup I have ever had!
This may sound lame, but I can't seem to see Courtney without thinking of Riley Keough. She's got that doppelganger thing going on😅
that was helpful! ty! we've tried a few here in Canada, and the non-keto family demand the heinz!😂
Hi, Steve- The Regular Primal Kitchen Ketchup has no added sugars, vs the 'tad bit sweet' version containing 1 gram from the honey. I like the original, but I do mix it with Frank's Original Hot Sauce. Only use it to top my carnivore meatloaf. 😋
I was not aware that there were two varieties of PK ketchup. This was the only one my store had.
Suggestion for a future comparison: do an across the board comparison of the family of products put out by G Hughes. Most are very low cal in addition to low carbs. I like that family of products!
I've done other G Hughes reviews. Likely, I'll stick to the format of picking a particular product (BBQ sauce for example) and review multiple brands.
This made me check my Thrive ketchup ingredients, organic sugar is added, I was not aware
Thank you for your comparison. I thought my only option was the C. G. Hugh’s ketchup. I am going to try the Heinz version as it is cheaper and easier to find in stock.

This will be good. I do make your ketcup all the time. 😃
Nice job. I know it's not "Ketchup" but Sweet Baby Ray's No Sugar Added BBQ is really good. Uses allulose & Sucralose.
I agree, Baby Ray's makes some good sauce.
Artificial sweeteners still send the pancreas, via brain, into overdrive. It's what taste buds detect.
Great to see that you liked Heinz.
I vote for G hughes!!
Some of his sauces are great. The ketchup wasn't bad, but it was definitely our 4th place finisher.
My personal preference is French’s No Sugar added. I didn’t like Primal Kitchen. Heinz was okay. Thanks to you and Courtney for doing this taste test.
I haven’t seen French’s no sugar. I’ll need to keep an eye out.
I get the Heinz. Seems good to me. *But haven't had "regular" ketchup in a few years. Plus? My taste for sweet has completely changed. Mildly sweet foods or sauces taste like pure sugar now. Thanks you two!
Then you would really dislike the G Hughes.

Not to mention I’ve had so much trouble since I don’t like them to be too sweet, and don’t like the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners that are over done.

Primal kitchen also makes the ketchup in glass but it is smaller size: 11.3 oz glass bottle. They have 2 versions. Both unsweetened but one is not spicy (no honey) and a spicy version. 🌶️
I love spicy so I hope they will later make them in bigger glass bottles as well
For me, the Heinz ketchup packets from McDonald’s were always my favorite ketchup. Not sure why it was different from the store bought bottles, but it always was. I think that the vinegar was more forward in the packets, perfect for fries. The no sugar added version is very close to the McD’s ketchup packets.
I’ve never made the comparison.
I really don’t eat ketchup anymore but my non keto husband uses it (Heinz) instead of the regular
I love French's No Sugar ketchup now. It tastes the closest to regular Heinz that I have found....though I love my own better, it is quite labor intensive.
I’ve used the Heinz No Sugar for quite awhile, and really love the taste.
"Yo Mama's" also has a keto ketchup. It's sweetened with monk fruit, and has tomato paste, water, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard seed, and bay leaf, as the other ingredients. As to turning the J. Hughs ketchup into a glaze, I might mix it with the J. Hughs orange ginger marinade, pineapple ginger marinade, or their Thai chili wing sauce.
That's a GREAT suggestion.
@SeriousKeto it's pretty good.
Yay Heinz! My favorite😍
We use the Heinz no sugar added ketchup, but I really like the Hughes BBQ sauces.
I agree. The BBQ sauces are solid.
I’m now tempted to try the Heinz based on the price. Up until now I’ve really liked Primal Kitchen's spicy ketchup.
I'd like to add my quirky issue: plastic bottles and acidic tomatoes, Lord knows what is leaching into the sauce from the plastic! So I'm a G Hughes Ketchup fan, due to the glass bottle. If he quits or plastic-a-fies, I'll make my own. I do not use ketchup for dipping anyway, but only to use in Southern Keto's Copycat "Peter Luger Steak Sauce", so consistency is not an issue. Besides healthy choices, Pray Over and Bless Your Food, really that's the best thing we can do at this toxic point in the American Diet. Be Blessed!
We each need to make our food choices based on how we prioritize threats to our health. 👍
I know I've been using the Heinz No Sugar Added for years... it's just what I prefer. Like you said, also affordable & (as of late) easier to find.
I can't eat any of thy G. Hughes sauces, they're all too sweet for me.
Just wish I could still find Ray's No Sugar Added BBQ sauces... but, our stores have dropped that line ( also made by G Hughes, from what I remember?).
I have used G Hughes. Has a stronger clove flavor. I buy the Heinz.
I love Primal Kitchen products
I wish they were less expensive, because I've like most of what I've tried of their products.
Thanks for this taste test. I have been looking for a replacement for your least favorite, as it has’t satisfied me. I should be able to source the Heinz., though it isn’t carried by my local grocery. I’m headed for your homemade ketchup video next to see if that would be even better. Thanks again!
Hope you enjoy
To the G Hughs sauce, I think you could add Choc Zeros Orange Jam to make the meat glaze you were talking about. Just a thought.
Good idea
would love to see comparisons on other standard condiments as well if you come across options.
Primal Kitchen is more expensive than steak but I love it. The Ketchup Please has “cane alcohol” which I assume is erythritol? Great review as always. Brilliant pair of testers!
It's listed as part of the stevia, so my guess is that they're using liquid stevia and that the "cane alcohol" is probably liquid erythritol or xylitol.
I'm not a Heinz fan, but love the G Hughes as my favorite.
Funny that the Glenn Hughes is the only one with corn starch for a thickener and is the thinnest one.
I'm not sure if "irony" is the right word, but it does make you go "hmmm...."
@@SeriousKeto maybe he works for the government ??? 🤔
