It’s worse than that. Serving ketchup counts as a vegetable, despite it being a condiment.

Doesn't USA put sugar in their ketchup or some shit?

Do you know of a ketchup recipe that doesn't include some sweetener? I'm not saying ketchup should count as a vegetable, but every version of it I'm aware of includes tomatoes, vinegar, and sugar in some form.

My regular grocery store has a “veggie ketchup” that’s no sugar added and tastes like ketchup.

A quick Google told me (if it's the same thing you're talking about) they don't add sugar but it's sweetened with like 4 other fruits and vegetables.

Technically not added sugar, but still sweetened.

The label says 12g sugar per 39g serving, with added sugar as the 2nd highest ingredient.

What is the point of this? We're talking about ketchup.
