### 5. **Better Alternatives Exist**
Fortunately, avoiding Heinz doesn’t mean giving up ketchup altogether. Many **organic and health-conscious brands** offer better versions made with real tomatoes, natural sweeteners like honey or cane sugar, and zero artificial ingredients. Look for brands such as:
* **Primal Kitchen** (unsweetened, paleo-friendly)
* **Annie’s Organic Ketchup**
* **Trader Joe’s Organic Ketchup**
* **Sir Kensington’s Classic Ketchup**
Or better yet—make your own at home with simple ingredients: tomato paste, vinegar, spices, and a touch of natural sweetener.
