How these numbers are made

These are the values the NutriOptio app gave for a typical ketchup in October 2026. They are AI estimates and can change as the app is updated; search the dish in the app for its current estimate. Calories and nutrients are NutriOptio's AI estimate for a typical recipe and portion. The glycemic index is NutriOptio's reference value for this dish, estimated from its carbohydrate ingredients; glycemic load is computed from it and the serving's carbohydrate. Home and restaurant versions vary, sometimes a lot. General information, not medical advice.
