Stew Leonard’s has introduced an all-natural store brands tomato ketchup made with sugar, replacing the existing product that was made with high fructose corn syrup.

All four of the chain’s stores will make the switch this week. The ketchup is also gluten-free and features an upside-down shape for more convenient use.

“Our customers are always on the lookout for easy ways to incorporate healthy changes into their diets,” said Rick Baker, buyer at Stew Leonard’s. “We reformulated our ketchup to contain a more natural ingredient: pure cane sugar. We also altered the bottle to an easy upside-down shape. With all-natural ingredients and new bottle, we know there will be great feedback from our ketchup lovers everywhere!”

In addition to the newly reformulated ketchup, Stew Leonard’s has removed the processed tomato paste from the store brand Marinara Sauce and has recently introduced its own organic milk produced from family-owned farms throughout New England.
