People rebuild their pantry, swap their flour, change their oil. The fridge door rarely gets the same attention. But condiments touch nearly every meal, and a single bottle can carry HFCS, GMO derivatives, gums, and preservatives in one spoonful.
§ 01
Why condiments matter more than people think
A typical US household goes through one to two bottles of ketchup per month and roughly the same in mustard, mayo, and salad dressings. Swap one bottle for a cleaner version and the cumulative ingredient change over a year is real.
§ 02
What to look for at the shelf
- Non-GMO Project Verified butterfly on the front of the label
- Cane sugar, never high fructose corn syrup
- Short ingredient list, recognizable words
- No gums, no caramel color, no synthetic preservatives
§ 03
Start with 78
Every 78 bottle is built to that standard. If you want the longer reads, our GMO explainer and clean-eating guide go deeper.
