It's really hard for me to eat without salt. I think it's infringing on our rights!"
In days past when I wanted soup, I would reach for Cambells...not anymore. Since started using that damned sea salt it tastes like crap.
Even Heinz Ketchup comes in a "no salt added" variety
Why the heck can't the folks who want no/low sodium buy that one?!
Heinz? Oh yea, I remember them. That’s where Teresa and her gigolo get their money.
Hello New Coke.
I stopped eating ketchup long ago because its just too sweet. As for salt - I’ve always been a salt-a-holic. So FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!
Hope they don’t mess with the natural mellowing agents.
Seriously - how much ketchup does one have to eat in a typical day for this to even matter?
Jerks.
When you think about the primary foods on which people use ketchup—hamburgers and french fries, does Heinz really think that these eaters are clamoring for ketchup with less salt?
As my grandma used to say, “There are other fish in the sea!”
Best Overall Ketchup
Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup, 4 forks, Epicurious Top Pick, Best Overall Ketchup
Epi Top Pick: Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup ($1.99 per 24 oz. plastic bottle)
Pros: This ketchup’s boldly rich red color and its slick appearance had testers dipping their fries without hesitation. “It has an obvious tomato flavor with a mild tang, and it’s not overly sweet,” remarked one tester about this well-balanced ketchup. “It’s not watery and not too thick,” said another tester. “This is undeniably the ideal classic ketchup,” said another.
Cons: Has 20 calories per tablespoon as opposed to the standard 15 found in most of the competition.

Talk to Progresso, lady, whose soup I no longer buy because it went from pretty much OK to tasteless crap.
I use to love french fries, but then they changed the grease they were fried in and they tasted (to me) like cardboard. I quit eating french fries. Score one for the nanny state.
There are other brands of ketchup so this is a no brainer. Switch brands.
Someone tell me that Heinz doesn't make the Hunts brand and I will be pleased with myself for the next week ... lol.
Who is running Heinz? Salt in in the ketchup for a reason, taste. So, they eliminate salt and start making red colored paste. Taste is now bad. Sales fall off. Marketing people kick up the advertising. Sales fall off further. Layoffs begin. New taxes kick in because we have a govt that is actively targeting them. More layoffs. The board is fired due to poor performance and replaced with eco friendly food nazi’s. Sales really tank. More layoffs.
Hey Heintz board, why are you participating in your own demise?
Just damn... The only ketchup I like is Heinz... It’s a condiment, for goodness sake! It’s not the main course, or even a side dish!
I’ve tried drinking “reduced sodium” V-8 juice, and it just doesn’t taste anywhere near as good as the “real” V-8 juice, even when I spice it up with pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce, the later two which add a bunch of sodium back into the juice.
I just hope that they introduce the lower sodium product as an additional product, rather than replacing the original.
