Keto Sauces

How many carbs, sugars and salt are in each BeKeto sauce?

Per 100 g, carbohydrate runs from 0.1 g in the mayonnaise to 8.0 g in the ketchup and mustard. Sugars run from 0.0 g to 6.0 g over the same four labels, and salt from 0.8 g to 2.2 g.

Label by label, per 100 g:

• Keto Mayonnaise 390g: carbohydrate 0.1 g, sugars 0.0 g, fat 77.1 g, salt 0.8 g
• Keto Garlic Sauce 390g: carbohydrate 0.7 g, sugars 0.3 g, fat 69.0 g, salt 1.32 g
• Keto Ketchup 470g: carbohydrate 8.0 g, sugars 6.0 g, fat 0.2 g, salt 2.0 g
• Keto Mustard 480g: carbohydrate 8.0 g, sugars 0.8 g, fat 4.4 g, salt 2.2 g

Every figure here is given per 100 g, because that is the basis printed on every British label. Keto sauce ranges are usually described as being under 2 g of net carbohydrate a serving, without anyone saying how big the serving is, so nobody can check the claim. Per 100 g can be checked.

Salt is the line these sauces do not win. Keto Mustard 480g carries 2.2 g per 100 g and Keto Ketchup 470g carries 2.0 g, which is 0.88 g and 0.80 g of sodium. None of these is a low salt food, a claim that needs 0.12 g of sodium per 100 g or less.

At £5.79 a jar that works out at £1.48 per 100 g for the mayonnaise and the garlic sauce, £1.23 for the ketchup and £1.21 for the mustard. How much of it fits a day on a keto or low carb diet depends on your own limit, which our guide to how many carbs a day on keto sets out.

Which of these are sugar free sauces?

Two of the four count as sugar free sauces: Keto Mayonnaise 390g and Keto Garlic Sauce 390g. The mayonnaise declares 0.0 g of sugars per 100 g and the garlic sauce 0.3 g, both under the 0.5 g limit set for a sugars-free claim in Great Britain.

Keto Ketchup 470g and Keto Mustard 480g do not reach that limit. The ketchup declares 6.0 g of sugars per 100 g, all of it naturally occurring in the 47% tomato concentrate it is made from, and the mustard declares 0.8 g.

None of the four carries added sugar. What does the sweetening is erythritol in the mayonnaise, the garlic sauce and the mustard, and steviol glycosides, the extract from the stevia leaf, in the ketchup.

So the shelf as a whole is not sugar free, and no single headline covers it. The sugars line on each individual label settles it, jar by jar.

Which sauces can you have on keto, and which to skip?

Sauces built on oil, egg, vinegar and mustard seed stay lowest in sugars. Mayonnaise, aioli and garlic dips, mustard, vinaigrette, hollandaise and plain chilli hot sauce all sit in that group.

Sweet tasting sauces are the ones to read twice. BBQ, sweet chilli, teriyaki, hoisin, tomato ketchup, jarred pasta sauce and mint sauce are usually built on added sugar or on a fruit base, so their sugars figure climbs.

The name on the jar does not settle it, and neither does the word keto. What settles it is the line marked of which sugars on the back of the pack, printed next to the carbohydrate figure on every sauce sold in the UK.

Soy sauce, fish sauce and tzatziki come up in this question more than anything else. All three vary by brand rather than by category, so the figure on the label in your hand is the one that counts, not the name of the sauce.

Can you buy keto sauces in Tesco?

We sell these sauces from beketo.uk. We do not track what other retailers hold, so check a supermarket's own site for its range, and read the sugars per 100 g on whatever you find there.

0.8 g to 2.2 g per 100 g. Keto Mayonnaise 390g sits at the bottom of that range and Keto Mustard 480g at the top, which is 0.32 g to 0.88 g of sodium. None of them is a low salt food.

Are BeKeto sauces vegan and gluten free?

The ketchup and mustard are both. Keto Ketchup 470g and Keto Mustard 480g are labelled vegan and gluten free. Keto Mayonnaise 390g and Keto Garlic Sauce 390g are made with egg yolk powder, so they are not vegan.

Which sweeteners are used in BeKeto sauces?

Erythritol and steviol glycosides. Erythritol sweetens the mayonnaise, the garlic sauce and the mustard, and steviol glycosides sweeten the ketchup. Our guide to the best sweeteners for keto compares them.
