  That’s the weight of the tomato that died to make this sauce. Despite improvements in efficiency, the entire tomato corpse cannot be used int the sauce.

  Ketchup is reduced tomato and sugar. Big part of a tomato is water that boils off.

    So wouldn’t you weigh the tomatoes after they have been boiled down?

      Things like combucha also have the added sugar listed in their ingredients, but it has no sugar since that was fermented in the process of making it. This is not something rare.
