Best vegan ketchup brands. In this post, I am going to be sharing the 13 best vegan ketchup brands available online and from grocery stores. If you are like me, I have ketchup on pretty much anything and everything (I have since I was a little kid). I am firmly in the pro-ketchup camp (even on vegan hot dogs). But hold on, why wouldn’t ketchup be vegan? Well, I am going to explain to you why not all kinds of ketchup are vegan and list 13 vegan-friendly ketchup brands.
Why is Ketchup Not Vegan?
Ketchup generally is vegan. What makes a specific brand of ketchup non-vegan will usually be in relation to the type of sweetener used. Some ketchup may be sweetened with refined sugar that has been processed with bone char and as a result, will not be vegan.
Honey can also be a sweetener used in ketchup. This is another ingredient that will make it non-vegan.
What Ketchup Brands Are Vegan?
As a general rule, the following brands make amazing ketchup that are promoted as vegan –
- Fody Foods
- True Made Food’s
- Brooklyn Delhi
- Halo + Cleaver
- Yo Mama’s Food’s
- Good Food For Good
- Primal Kitchen
- Portlandia Foods
- Sabatino Tartufi
- Fila Manila
- Nature’s Hollow
All of these above brands actively promote themselves as being “vegan” as opposed to being “accidentally vegan”.

4. Halo + Cleaver Ketchup
The coolest thing about this vegan ketchup from Halo + Cleaver (apart from the fact it is vegan) is that it is sweetened with apple and pineapple! It is also keto-friendly, Whole 30 approved, and gluten-free.
You can try this halo and Cleaver ketchup from Amazon here.
5. Halo + Cleaver Spicy Ketchup
If you like the sound of Halo + Cleaver ketchup above but you enjoy your ketchup with a kick to it, then look no further than Halo + Cleavers spicy ketchup. This ketchup from Halo + Cleaver packs a punch as it contains Thai chili peppers – all whilst still being vegan and sweetened with fruit.

If organic, vegan, unsweetened ketchup sounds like your jam (get it?) then you should check out Primal Kitchen’s ketchup. It is also Whole 30 approved and apparently comes in ‘frustration-free’ packaging. You can find it on Amazon here.
10. Portland Organic Ketchup Gift Box by Portlandia Foods
If you are looking for a vegan ketchup gift box (and I mean, why wouldn’t you be?!) Then Portlandia Foods have time covered. Their ketchup is all made in Oregon and is USDA organic certified. They use organic cane sugar to sweeten so there is no need to worry about bone char. This could make a cute gift for a vegan friend (or just a gift to yourself).
You can find it on Amazon here.
11. Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Hot Ketchup
What makes this hot vegan ketchup from Sabatino Tartufi so special is the fact it is infused with black truffle. Talk about gourmet ketchup! So, if you want to elevate your vegan fries to the next level this is probably the ketchup for you.
