What the label tells us
Tương cà Heinz — tomato ketchup. Yenzo rates it “Good”: a solid everyday choice. The main reasons are high salt (2.9 g per 100 g) and medium sugar (16.4 g per 100 g). It is also ultra-processed (NOVA 4), going by how Yenzo classifies its ingredients. Plus points: low in fat.
The label lists no additive codes. There is also artificial flavouring (“low” on the Yenzo Scale).
Of the 10 sauces and dips in the Yenzo catalogue, it is the only one rated “Good” and 1 is rated higher. With sauces and seasonings, how much salt you get depends on how much you use. See all sauces and dips

What this means for you
“Good” is where Tương cà Heinz sits on one scale used for every food: a solid everyday choice. The scale does not say whether a product is “safe” or not: each additive on the label has its own level on the Yenzo Scale, shown in the Additives tab.
Watching your salt? On a Vietnamese nutrition table, find the line “natri” (sodium): Tương cà Heinz has 1,160 mg of sodium per 100 g. The WHO recommends adults eat less than 5 g of salt (2,000 mg of sodium) a day.
