The new and improved classic ketchup from the brand is joined by an unsweetened version that's also friendly to the gut. Both of these full-flavor ketchup products from the brand boast a base of tomato puree but avoid certain ingredients that cause digestive discomfort in some people. The demand for FODMAP-friendly condiments reflects a growing awareness and concern for [digestive health](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-sauces). FODMAPs, (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) are a group of carbohydrates that can be difficult to digest for some people, and FODMAP-friendly condiments offer an alternative to sauces, spreads and dressings that include triggering ingredients like garlic, onions and even natural sweeteners such as honey. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fodmap-friendly Foods:** A trend in creating foods that are free from certain ingredients that cause digestive discomfort, such as garlic and onions, is on the rise. - **Digestive Health Awareness:** Growing awareness and concern for digestive health is leading consumers to seek out products that are gentle on their gut. - **Alternative Condiments:** The rise of FODMAP-friendly condiments indicates a desire for alternatives to traditional sauces, spreads, and dressings that contain triggering ingredients. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has an opportunity to create innovative products that cater to consumers with digestive sensitivities and seek to improve gut health. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can capitalize on the growing interest in digestive health by developing and promoting products that support a healthy gut. - **Plant-based Foods:** Plant-based brands like Fody have the potential to disrupt the condiment market by offering alternative options that cater to specific dietary needs, like FODMAP-friendly ketchups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Easily Digestible Salsas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fodmap-salsa.md) - [Gut-Friendly Seasoned Rice Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasoned-rice.md) - [Sensitive Marinara Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensitive-marinara.md) - [Tomato-Free Sauce Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatofree-sauce.md) - [Gut-Friendly Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellycious.md) - [Health-Focused Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthfocused-condiments.md) - [Naturally Formulated Condiment Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fudi-sauces.md) - [Free-From Ketchup Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tomato-ketchup-zero.md) - [Free-From Condiment Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelfstable-condiments.md)
