New Zealand: Wattie's tomato sauce free from fructose corn syrup

15/11/2018 - Press release , François-Xavier Branthôme
Tomato sauce from the Hawke's Bay Heinz-Wattie's factory is free of the FCS controversial ingredient found in some overseas condiments. While some manufacturers use fructose corn syrup, which is not only bad for the gut, but has also been linked to increased insulin levels and weight gain in tomato sauce brands, Heinz-Watties says that ingredient has never been used in its sauce.

"Wattie's does not and has never used high fructose corn syrup in its tomato sauce range," a company spokesman said. "We take our role as a leading food manufacturer in New Zealand very seriously. We have a long history of continuously improving the nutritional profile of our foods and offering many choices for consumers”.

"Our tomato sauce range contains a number of different products to meet consumer preferences. In addition to our regular Wattie's Tomato Sauce, Wattie's Tomato Sauce was developed with 50% less sugar (and 35% less salt) over three years ago, and for over ten years, we have had Wattie's Tomato Sauce Lite in our range, which provides consumers with an option to have 35 % less sugar and 40 % less salt than our regular Wattie's Tomato Sauce”.

"Wattie's Tomato Sauces are ideal, if not essential, accompaniments for our barbecue season."
