Corn Syrup?

Why do you need to add corn syrup to ketchup!? Tomato and water and a bit of salt. Voila. And please explain, what is “natural” flavour!!!

Not Low FODMAP

Contains Garlic powder which is identified as a high FODMAP ingredient in most studies (contains Fructans). Not sure how this could make it into a Low FODMAP list.
