3. Role of Substitutes & Additives

In the Heinz Ketchup Style Sauce No Sugar Added:

Sucralose: As an artificial sweetener, sucralose is used to provide sweetness without the caloric contribution of regular sugar. This helps in creating a product suitable for individuals who are looking to reduce their sugar intake or manage their calorie consumption.

The primary roles of this sugar substitute are to ensure that the product maintains a similar taste, texture, and overall sensory experience compared to the standard version of the ketchup, while reducing sugar. Additional ingredients, such as Torula yeast, helps to maintain the savoury and umami flavour profile of the ketchup despite the reduction in sugar content.
