Default LC Ketchup from Presidents Choice

I saw this at the PC grocery store I frequent and was wondering whether anyone had tried it and had any reviews.
(i'm guessing it could be found at either of the following: zehr's, loblaws, no frills, valu-mart)

More details here:

-------------------
So, it's a 1 carb ketchup. Made with sucralose rather than HFCS or sugar.

Total Carbs are 1gm/serving

The nutritional info looks amazing (from an LC perspective) as do the ingredients (no sugar alcohols)...I was wondering about the taste as I couldn't find a bottle smaller than their tetra-pak.

anyone?

I've used it ever since it came out (years)...love it! Even better than the heinz lower sugar one IMHO.


Its also available at Extra foods and The Great Canadian Superstore, which are all part of the same company as the ones you already mentioned (westfair foods).

I've gotten quite a few family members and friends switched to using this ketchup even the ones that don't lowcarb, since it is a no pain way of reducing their calorie and sugar consumption regardless.

Looooove it!!! And I am a ketchup-o-holic...lol.... I have been a Heinz girl all my life and the PC brand is soooooo close to the same flavor or original Heinz!!!! I have to say that it's definitly one thing that has made this woe easier for me! Great product... and I must say that it's the one product that I have tasted that DOES NOT taste over Splenda'd. I have noticed that all the new products out there just use waaaay too much Splenda in their stuff and I can't stand it... the PC ketchup is not one of them, the blend is great!

thanks for feedback guys.

I had no idea this even existed until about 2 days ago O.o. Largely, in part to the fact that they reshuffled the shelving and now its next to the Hot Sauces and Mustards haha. Never padi attention to the ketchup containing aisles before.

Any good recipes you could point me to? I never used it on anything other than fries (when I ate them).

Oh, and any concerns around it adversely affecting insulin?

I use it to dip meats (sausage, burger patties etc) but I have also added it into meatloaf and made a coctail sauce for prawns (by adding some horseradish,worchester, lime juice,seasalt).
