Sugar is not nearly high enough on that ingredient list to be ketchup, but it’d be nice if it wasn’t there at all. I mean it already has cornstarch. And why they include a miniscule amount of glucose syrup on top of their sugar is beyond me. Must be because it’s in the ingredients of some other processed food that they’re using to make this one.
Except it has sour cream another dairy products in it. Those don’t belong in guacamole under any circumstance. Even tomato is iffy and shouldn’t really be in there.
at least they’re up front about their bullshit. unlike “american cheese” that has “pasteurized processed cheese product” in fine print. or “ice cream” with “frozen dairy product” in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a “chocolatey chip” frappuccino instead of “chocolate chip,” because the ingredients didn’t fit the legal definition of chocolate
i’m also impressed they called it “rapeseed oil” instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that
edit: ok, “canola oil” is a stupid americas thing–i withdraw my impressedness
This got me curious so I looked up the nutrition page on Tesco’s website… The two main ingredients are water and tomatoes lol

Just like mother used to make.
Gather around children and enjoy some of mamas Tesco Guacamole inspired topping
So it’s green ketchup!

Lets play spot the hidden corn syrup.
There it is!
Is that what it means? Ha, I always assumed that was a thickener or something.
That actually doesnt sound too bad. Though I’m surprised with the artificial colors that this is what went with.

Canola is a North American thing. AFAIK the British are familiar with the term “rapeseed” and don’t need the rebranding.
Honestly not sure why people get so upset about American cheese. It’s just cheese with an emulsifier in it that softens it. Best burger cheese by far.
American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger, because it melts without splitting.
