Why I Love Sugar-Free Ketchup
Ketchup is not something I eat in large amounts, but when I’m using ketchup I want it to be sugar-free! And this is the brand of ketchup I’ve used for a long time, so today I’m talking about Why I Love Sugar-Free Ketchup and recommending it as one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks!

My brother-in-law Kelly loves ketchup, and he eats it on just about everything! I’m not a big ketchup eater, but I do like to have some when I have scrambled eggs or fried eggs and of course sometimes I use ketchup for flavoring it in a recipe. So this post talks about Why I love Sugar-Free Ketchup.
I used to buy a famous name brand of reduced-sugar ketchup that was lower in sugar than most ketchups on the market. But for several years now I’ve been buying this G. Hughes Sugar-Free Ketchup (affiliate link).
I love that it has only one gram of sugar per tablespoon, which is about 75% less sugar that most ketchup on the market. And I think the flavor is great, and I’ve enjoyed it in everything I use ketchup for!
Why I love Sugar-Free Ketchup:
It’s true that ketchup is a condiment most people don’t eat in huge amounts. But did you know that a 20 oz. jar of traditional ketchup contains about 2/3 cup of sugar? For me the slight bit of extra effort to buy sugar-free ketchup is worth it. And switching out ketchup with added sugar for this G. Hughes Sugar-Free Ketchup (affiliate link) is such an easy change to make if you’re trying to avoid carbs and sugars!
Recipes where I’ve used this Ketchup:
- Low-Carb Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
- Low-Carb Instant Pot Pulled Pork
- Shrimp with Low Sugar Cocktail Sauce
- Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken
- Air Fryer Turnip Fries (for the Utah Fry Sauce)
- Shrimp Cocktail with Sriracha Cocktail Sauce
- Low-Carb Stuffed Pepper Soup
- Beef and Sausage Meatloaf (for serving)
- Shrimp Cocktail Lettuce Cups

I haven’t made this recipe yet but I have been using g. Hughes Sugar Free Ketchup for a long time now. I also love their brand of Sugar Free BBQ Sauce!!
Sounds like I might have to try that Barbecue Sauce!
I stopped buying Heinz ketchup because it contains high fructose corn syrup. But we love the organic ketchup from Trader Joe's. I haven't looked at the sugar content, though…just that it contained something real instead of something artificial.
This is what I use also. It's very good.
Finally a ketchup that gets it! GREG
Thanks for giving us a review of this product Kalyn! In the past, I have wasted lots of money on products I have been unhappy with. So now in these tough economic times, I only buy new products i have been able to sample myself; or go by a recommendation such as yours.
You are providing a valuable service for us as well as great recipes and photos!
Thanks so much!

This is a fairly recent addition to my own pantry. Until I started using it, I didn't realize how sweet regular ketchup tastes.
