> but they often have some other sweetener

I actually fell for this trap while looking for no added sugar or sugar alternatives specifically. The products are advertised as "No added sugar", meanwhile Stevia! Infuriating.

Heinz has a no added sugar product that adds stevia, and a no HFCS product that uses sugar. None that just reduces sweetness as far as I know.

I've also then seen the stevia-sweetened products advertised as "No added sugar and no artificial sweeteners", which is infuriating when searching for unsweetened (or under-sweetened) products.
Yep, because it's technically natural! Hate it.
I only buy ketchup with supernatural sweeteners!
