Nutrition by portion size

The table below shows how the nutrition changes across realistic portion sizes.

Nando's PERi-Ketchup contains 95 kcal, 0.2g of fat (0g saturated), 22g of carbohydrate (18g sugar), 1g of protein and 1.8g of salt per 100g. A standard ketchup portion — Small squeeze (10g) — delivers 10 kcal, 1.8g of sugar and 0.18g of salt.

Nando's PERi-Ketchup has 18g of sugar per 100g, slightly less than Heinz Tomato Ketchup (23.7g), reflecting the more vinegar-led flavour profile of PERi-PERi. The 2% PERi-PERi sauce adds mild heat and a distinctive character. A tablespoon (15g) delivers 2.7g of sugar.

Portion size matters significantly for condiments. A small squeeze or single teaspoon contributes little to daily intake. But condiments are easy to apply generously: Small squeeze (10g) delivers 1.8g of sugar and 0.18g of salt, while 4 tablespoons (60g) delivers 10.8g of sugar and 1.08g of salt. Adding multiple condiments to a single meal multiplies this further.

Sugar

Nando's PERi-Ketchup contains 18g of sugar per 100g, all of it free sugar. There are no naturally occurring bound sugars in condiments — the sugar in sauces counts in full against the NHS daily free sugar limit of 30g for adults, 24g for children aged 7 to 10, and 19g for children aged 4 to 6.

Small squeeze (10g): 1.8g of sugar (6% of the adult daily limit); 1 tablespoon (15g): 2.7g of sugar (9% of the adult daily limit); 2 tablespoons (30g): 5.4g of sugar (18% of the adult daily limit); 4 tablespoons (60g): 10.8g of sugar (36% of the adult daily limit).

Small squeeze (10g): 0.18g (3% of the adult daily limit of 6g); 1 tablespoon (15g): 0.27g (5% of the adult daily limit of 6g); 2 tablespoons (30g): 0.54g (9% of the adult daily limit of 6g); 4 tablespoons (60g): 1.08g (18% of the adult daily limit of 6g).

Ingredients and ultra-processed food

Nando's PERi-Ketchup is a commercially produced ketchup. Its ingredients are: Tomatoes (140g per 100g ketchup), spirit vinegar, sugar, PERi-PERi sauce (2%) (vinegar, African bird's eye chilli, salt, spices), salt, spice and herb extracts, modified maize starch. Lower sugar than standard Heinz Ketchup due to the vinegar-forward PERi influence..

A home-made equivalent would typically require fewer ingredients. The processing aids are used to deliver a consistent flavour, texture and shelf life at scale that home preparation cannot match.
