Real Good Ketchup has joined LACA, the school food people, to help support caterers in reaching their salt and sugar reduction targets for schoolchildren at mealtimes.

With 80% less salt than regular sauces, Real Good Ketchup is addressing both sugar and salt reduction, whilst maintaining a natural taste that children enjoy.

LACA was established in 1990 and is the leading professional body representing over 1,000 members drawn from across the school food sector representing public sector and private contract caterers and suppliers to schools.

Liz Jones, founder of Real Good Ketchup, commented: “We are seeing an increase in the number of schools changing menus to reduce sugar and salt. Amongst others, Waltham Forest and Tower Hamlets are now serving our ketchup with another five Council caterers introducing Real Good Ketchup to their menus this term.

“By working with LACA members Real Good Ketchup removes that extra sugar cube off the plate for schoolchildren at mealtimes. As a team, we have over 20 years’ experience in children’s food and ensure that our production is totally nut free and all ingredients are free from the top 14 listed food allergens.”

Real Good Ketchup is made in the UK using natural plant-based ingredients, is 14 allergen free and boasts 75% less sugar as well as 80% less salt than other brands.
