Nadia Awarded The Real Good Ketchup 5/5
We were delighted to receive 2 bottles. Compact 310g so lots packed in . I could not wait to try it ! The bottle design is good. Like other leading contemporary companies the idea that the lid should be at the bottom is fab. Further to this the bottle is just the right side for little hands to help themselves! I personally found it was not the same as the leading brand we use but had its own distinct taste and was just as if not more tasty!. It was sweet, tangy, tomatoey! I saw myself reaching for this every time instead of the leading brand bottle! My 4 year old son loved it. Usually we are very ‘snobby’ in terms of ketchup and only like one leading brand. Due to the size of the bottle he helped himself as it sat on the dining table and always commented on how he loved this one better! My older son age 9 years old also used this. He said this tasted ‘fresher’ and was yummy! I felt so confident feeding this to my children. 75% less sugar and 78% less salt… and so tasty ..I mean as a mother what more could I ask for. Used this pretty much every day. My children like ketchup with everything and therefore it forms part of our staple diet! I would say it does taste as good as our normal ketchup. My children loved it which is a winner for me and the fact it contains less sugar and salt and no artificial sweeteners is so very important especially when ketchup is being consumed like it’s the last thing on earth! It is very important this is natural and sugar free etc. I am so glad we have found something that we all like that is nut free as my 4 year old son has nut allergies. Further to this we follow a halal diet and as such it is vital that it is vegetarian. And lastly I follow the keto diet so it’s a total winner for me. For parents whose children have allergies this has the taste and the goodness all in one. I would definitely recommend. Great his comes in recyclable bottle. It is environment friendly which is always a plus point. It is very easy to disperse the correct amount you need from bottle. It has a foil covering which you need to take off before first use and it came out freely no squeezing the life out of your bottle! My mum who is diabetic also tried this and loved it. I loved the taste, the ingredients and the size of the bottle. My sons liked the taste and when I told them there was 75% less sugar the elder one who is a more conscious of these things was converted. Its tasty and healthy! Good quality no issues. Definitely good value. For me buying nut free and healthier alternatives always has been expensive and they usually taste like cardboard. This product allows us to look after our health, my sons allergies and tastes amazing. For 2.99 this is reasonable and very well priced! Definitely would buy this. It’s a winner for all my family which is rare. This will become a permanent addition to our condiments on the dining table! I would recommend as this appeals to everyone not just children with allergies or those following keto or a vegetarian diet. Bottle size good easy for children to use. Good quality plastic and tastes amazing. It has 75% less sugar and 78% less salt. We do not need as much and it is full of flavour and adds taste. Both my boys liked it which is rare. Nut free I don’t have to search for alternative s for Raees likes the taste of this ketchup. So for us this is a winner. Nadia Ahmad – Raees 4 Years

Excited to try it, looks appealing from the outside. Love the bottle design, I think it was clear easy to ready and the information you wanted to know was in eyeshot. As a family I would say ketchup Is had with a majority of meals throughout the week, my husband also loves it. I thought it was smooth and not to similar to other major brands although this one definitely had a more vinegary tang to it. It was a little sharp but still nice. My youngest was fine she loved it and didn’t notice that I’d changed it from our usual brands but my eldest 4 noticed straight away and didn’t like it. She pulled some choice faces. Myself and husband definitely thought it’s great option and we both feel it’s an important factor to consider when choosing condiments. So for us as a family it made us feel more confident that this had less sugar. We used it solidly for 2/3 weeks. I would say this ketchup was lovely. It is important to me this is made of natural ingredients. So many of us suffer with allergies so it’s great to have that option there. We as a family are big on recycling, it’s important to us, it teaches our children how to look after the planet. it’s important for companies to recognise this for the future too. The bottle dispensed fine, not too much just enough. Love the fact it has such a low sugar content. My daughter liked the packaging and the shape of the bottle. We thought it was great couldn’t fault it. I think it’s ok value for money, I don’t think it’s aimed at family’s on a budget as you can get other brands cheaper. We would buy again, I think my 4 year may take a little time to get used to it. We would recommend as it is low sugar content which sells itself I think. Love the low sugar content and how it’s suitable for people with allergies but it does have a slight tang and the price isn’t really an option to family’s on a budget. Hayley Gray – Francesca 4 Years

Loved the packaging and it was the same consistency as the brand of ketchup the children are used to. Great as it had a no spill mechanism on it so it only comes out when squeezed. At the end of the bottle it is easy to remove the lid and get the last drop out. It was not as sweet as the brand we normally have and my eldest commented it tasted bitter to her. The younger 2 ate it with no issues at all my 11 year old did not like the taste of it and knew it was different from the brand we normally buy when she ate it. We eat lots of ketchup, especially with BBQ season over the summer months. I normally buy the top branded reduced sugar one as the kids do eat a lot of it and I am conscious as to how much sugar is in it. I liked that Real Good Ketchup is 75% less sugar but the taste was not to the liking of everyone in the household. We used this ketchup around 3 times a week. The younger 2 (age 1 and 4) ate it without any comments but my 11 year old would not eat it. We are a multiple allergy family (Gluten/Egg/Soya/Milk) so brands which tick all these boxes are a positive for us. We are conscious about our use of single use plastics and actively avoid them or only use them if we can recycle them. The bottle is very easy to use and not much waste at the end of the bottle. The lid also didn’t become overly sticky with ketchup residue. I really liked how allergy friendly it is and low in sugar. The children liked I allowed them to have more of it as it is so low in sugar. I put the ketchup on their plates in the kitchen so they did not see the bottle but with this brand if they asked for more I allowed it due to the low sugar credentials. This is a good quality ketchup. This costs more than the standard ketchup that I normally would bulk buy when it is on offer and the bottle is also smaller. I would buy this due to the low sugar, allergy friendly and that the bottle is easily recycled. I would recommend. I have already highlighted it to other allergy parents and those with children on a reduced sugar diet. More expensive than the normal one I buy but there are benefits which outweigh this. Very positive – we used all the supply we were allocated and I would look to buy it again (especially if I noted it was on offer). Stella Bacon – Daughters 1, 4 & 11 Years
