I didn’t even know that this was a different product when I bought it. The 1st time I tried it, I thought “wow, this tastes really different”. I don’t like it and will go back to the normal Heinz.
I tried this without realizing it was a new product and I DID NOT like it at all. I will continue eating the normal Heinz Ketchup.
Nicole.. be sure to voice that opinion by clicking on a response to “To Bite or not to Bite”
I’ll agree with the negatives. While I will admit the desire to limit HFCS in my diet, it is clearly THE ingredient that gives Heinz it’s flavor (unless something has been kept from us)
I thought I was buying Heinz Ketchup. This is the most disgusting ketchup I have ever had. As a Pittsburgh native I grew up on Heinz Ketchup. I have thrown it out and bought the original. This is similar to Coke changing formulas. This product should come with warning labels.
My suspicions are that the “sugar” in simply heinz is in fact beet sugar. Keep in mind that Beet’s are now a GMO crop that is no better than HFCS in my opinion.
Someone tell me I’m wrong and they are using “cane sugar” in simply heinz.
I doubt that is the case, beings they dont label it “cane sugar”, but simply “sugar”
Man, you people are weird. Heinz: I am so so grateful that you created this product. People: wake up, HFCS is extremely bad for you. It has a stratospheric glycemic index, which is making your blood sugar level yoyo throughout the day, making you much fatter than you would otherwise be. The reason it tastes “normal” to you is that your taste buds have been inundated with added HFCS for a long time. You need to take a break from sugar for a while so you can taste sweetness again. Just a few days even. Heinz: please don’t listen to these people who aren’t even trying. There are a lot of people who are.
