The [Hunter & Gather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-truffle-mayonnaise) unsweetened ketchups are a health-focused condiment for consumers who are seeking out a flavorful option for their favorite recipes that is more fitting for their lifestyle. The ketchups are all [free from added sugars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bragg-acv-vinaigrettes) as well as sweeteners and come in three varieties including Classic Tomato, Spicy Chipotle and Barbecue. The products are reported by the brand to have 79% less total sugars compared to leading alternatives on the market along with less than one gram of carbs per serving.

Co-Founder Amy Moring explained the new Hunter & Gather unsweetened ketchups further saying, "As the leading provider of best-in-class condiments (sugar, grain and seed oil-free), we felt we had a bigger role to play, so responded to our growing tribe and retailer request for a genuine, ‘low total sugar’ tomato sauce without sweeteners. Whilst others might claim that ‘no added sugar’ tomato sauces already exist; a closer inspection of their back-of-pack ingredient decks show an alarming natural sugar presence (around 16.5g of sugar per 100g Vs our 6.6g) from added syrups, sugary fruits or a host of sweeteners that coat the palate. We wanted to provide true innovation whilst also tasting delicious – like we did with our avocado mayonnaise range for the wider condiments category.”
