Dietitian Michał Wrzosek, known for promoting a healthy lifestyle, analyzed the compositions of popular ketchups available in Polish stores in one of his films. He noted that some products are filled with unnecessary additives that can harm health. Among the ingredients that particularly disturb him, he mentioned:
- Glucose-fructose syrup – Cheap sugar substitute, which contributes to the development of obesity and insulin resistance.
- Artificial dyes and preservatives – Used to improve the appearance and durability of the product, but their excess can harm.
- Low tomato content – In some ketchups we will find less than 20%, which means that they are more water with sugar than tomato sauce.
The dietitian pointed out three specific brands of ketchups, which in his opinion have the worst composition. It’s Tortex, Pudliszki and Kamis. Interestingly, some of these products are not the cheapest on the market.

If you care about health, It is worth reading the product labels carefully. Michał Wrzosek advises to look for ketchups, which:
- have a minimum of 80% of tomatoes in the composition,
- do not contain glucose-fructose syrup or artificial additives,
- They are sweetened with natural ingredients such as cane sugar or honey.
Pay attention to what you throw into the basketbecause the elections made in the store have a direct impact on your health. Ketchups with bad composition not only spoil the taste of dishes, but can also contribute to health problems.
