ATKINS SAUCE Oct 9 2003


Low-carb ketchup for millions on meat diet

By Rosa Prince And Fiona Cassidy


ATKINS dieters are to get their own tomato ketchup to splash over their sausages.

The low carbohydrate sauce is being introduced by Heinz for the millions of Brits on the controversial meat-rich weight loss plan.

Spokeswoman Yvette Murphy said: "People who are lowering carbohydrate intake will appreciate a new version of our ketchup."

Most sauces are barred to Atkins dieters because they are high in carbohydrates. One-Carb has one gramme per tablespoon. Most sauces have four.

The ketchup will go on sale next year if a trial in America is successful. Other Atkins-friendly sauces may follow, said Heinz, as sauce companies bid to retain their share of the £503million-a-year sauce market in the UK.

Friends star Jennifer Aniston and singer Geri Halliwell say the Atkins diet has helped them slim, but some doctors say is it dangerous.

But it is still proving popular and supermarket giant Waitrose said yesterday sales of red meat had rocketed. The Federation of Bakers said bread sales had fallen by up to two per cent a year since 2000.

Better than Atkins
