Uplevel your condiment game this holiday weekend.

You dip your fries in it. You slather it on vegan hot dogs, burgers, and subs. And you use it for dunking chick’n nuggets. We’re talking about condiments! Think ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, and more! What would we do without condiments? We would eat boring handhelds, that’s what. So, fire up the grill, pull out the Dijon and vegan mayo, and let’s get the weekend started. But hold up! Many popular condiment brands contain added salt, sugar, and chemicals. And, ugh, high-fructose corn syrup (ahem, Heinz, Hunt’s). So, don’t toss any old ketchup into your cart. Pick up these better-for-you condiments for your Memorial Day cookout.

Fact: Many old-school ketchup brands still contain high-fructose corn syrup. Why? Just why? Sometimes, they contain corn syrup or other added sugars in addition to the high-fructose corn syrup. Clean up your ketchup this season with Organicville, hands down our go-to condiment brand. Organicville’s Organic Ketchup contains ingredients like tomato puree, agave nectar, vinegar, salt, spices, and onion powder. While you’re there, pick up some mustard for those vegan brats. These also boast clean ingredients and come in a variety of flavors. Try Dijon, Stone Ground, Yellow Mustard, and No-Salt Added Stone Ground.
