No ketchup here matches all of that.

Is there a low sodium ketchup?
Yes. 1 of the 62 ketchups here has 140 mg of sodium or less in 1 tbsp (15 mL) and in 50 g, the federal line for the words “low sodium”. The low sodium ketchup brand is Red Duck.
The rest do not pass both tests: the next lowest has 65 mg in 1 tbsp (15 mL), and most ketchup has 110 to 180 mg in a serving, 5% to 8% of the Daily Value.
Low sodium ketchup brands
The lowest ketchup of each brand at the low sodium level:
- Red Duck Organic Ketchup 40mg per 1 tbsp (15 g) · 40 mg in 1 tbsp
The next lowest brands, none at the low sodium level:
- Good Food For Good Organic Ketchup 65mg per 1 tbsp (16 g) · 65 mg in 1 tbsp
- Simple Truth Tomato Ketchup 95mg per 1 tbsp (15 g) · 95 mg in 1 tbsp
- Walibi Tomato Sauce Ketchup 100mg per 1 tbsp (15 g) · 100 mg in 1 tbsp

Lowest sodium ketchup by kind
The lowest ketchup of each kind, least sodium first. 1 of them reaches the low sodium level.
- Classic: Red Duck Organic Ketchup 40mg per 1 tbsp (15 g) · 40 mg in 1 tbsp
- No sugar added: Health Garden Sugar Free Ketchup 105mg per 1 tbsp (15 g) · 105 mg in 1 tbsp

No salt added ketchup
One ketchup here carries “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Heinz Tomato No Salt Added Ketchup 5mg per 1 tbsp (17 g) · 5 mg in 1 tbsp · older package
“No salt added” and “unsalted” mean that no salt goes in while the food is made, on a food that is normally made with salt. Neither means no sodium: the other ingredients have sodium of their own. When the food is not sodium free, the package has to say “not a sodium free food” or “not for control of sodium in the diet” next to the Nutrition Facts.
Salt free ketchup
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. 1 of the ketchups here is that low.

Questions about low sodium ketchup
What is a low sodium ketchup?
A ketchup with 140 mg or less of sodium in 1 tbsp (15 mL), the amount federal labeling rules use to compare ketchups, and in 50 g: the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g as well. That is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 35 mg or less, tested the same way, and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Is there a sodium free or no sodium ketchup?
Yes. 1 of the ketchups here is sodium free: under 5 mg in 1 tbsp (15 mL) and in the package's own serving. “No sodium” on a package means the same.
Is there a reduced sodium ketchup?
1 of the ketchups here carries “reduced sodium”, “less sodium” or “lower sodium” in the name. On a package those words mean at least 25 percent less sodium than the regular food it is compared with, so a reduced sodium ketchup can still be above the low sodium line.
Does Heinz make a low sodium ketchup?
Yes, on an older package.
Heinz Tomato No Salt Added Ketchup has 5 mg per 1 tbsp (17 g), 5 mg in 1 tbsp (an older package).
Does Hunt's make a low sodium ketchup?
No Hunt's ketchup here is at the low sodium level. Its lowest:
Hunt's HUNTS Natural Tomato Ketchup has 150 mg per 1 tbsp (17 g), 150 mg in 1 tbsp.
Does Primal Kitchen make a low sodium ketchup?
No Primal Kitchen ketchup here is at the low sodium level. Its lowest:
Primal Kitchen Unsweetened Organic Ketchup has 105 mg per 1 tbsp (15 g), 105 mg in 1 tbsp.
Does Red Gold make a low sodium ketchup?
No Red Gold ketchup here is at the low sodium level. Its lowest:
Red Gold Colts Ketchup, 20oz Bottle has 160 mg per 1 tbsp (17 g), 160 mg in 1 tbsp.
What are the nutrition facts of the lowest sodium ketchup?
40 mg sodium, 10 calories, 0 g protein and 0 g total fat in one 1 tbsp (15 g) serving of Red Duck Organic Ketchup, the lowest sodium ketchup here. The Nutrition button on each product in the list opens the rest of its Nutrition Facts.
How to read the numbers
Sodium in one serving, from the package's Nutrition Facts. The serving is next to it.
% Daily Value is that serving's share of 2,300 mg, the Daily Value for sodium on US packages.
In 1 tbsp (15 mL): every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the package meets a federal level in 1 tbsp and in 50 g: low sodium (140 mg or less), very low sodium (35 mg or less) or sodium free (under 5 mg). A label that gives its serving only in mL does not say what 50 g holds, so that package gets no tag.
Nutrition opens the rest of one serving's Nutrition Facts and the ingredient list. More nutrition puts those numbers in the list, to order by any of them.
Filters narrow the list by store, brand, the words on the label and ingredients. An ingredient filter also leaves out products that give no ingredient list.
2024 or newer: the list opens with packages from 2024 or later. Untick the box to add older ones; some may have changed or left the shelf.
These are package numbers, not advice. How much sodium is right for you is for your doctor or dietitian to say.
