But the creation, available in Smoothie King stores in the US has been labelled 'disgusting' and 'nasty' on social media.
In June, Heinz unveiled a new ketchup which some customers claimed was "better than the original".
The "game-changing" condiment has 35 per cent more tomatoes, a "DRASTICALLY" different colour, and even boasts several health benefits.
Heinz's Tomato Ketchup Zero sent sauce fans into an online frenzy - with many claiming the new sauce has a better taste.
The new Zero ketchup no added sugar and salt, unlike its original counterpart.
According to the beloved sauce brand, 9 in 10 customers said "it delivers the great quality you'd expect from Heinz", and tastes better than "other 'Zero' products".
Bewildered shoppers poured out on social media, with many shocked at the new launch.
One user said: "IS THAT ZERO CAL KETCHUP?"
Another chimed in: "IS THAT KETCHUP ZERO I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE WHAT IS THAT?"
While a third user said: "It's DRASTICALLY different in colour than ketchup I have what the hell."
Heinz also said that the release meets consumer trends, as "50,000 Brits say their top food priority is healthier choices with less sugar and salt".

Travel warning for Brits heading to Spain amid strikes
While workers are legally required to provide a "minimum service" yet to be determined, the industrial action could still cause significant disruption for travellers. Azul Handling delivers baggage handling services for Ryanair at its Spanish operations. The strikes have been declared following hospitality workers on 12 Spanish islands announcing their own walkout plans. Spanish strikes - what airports are affected? Valencia, Alicante, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga, Ibiza, Palma, Girona, Tenerife South, Lanzarote and Santiago airports are set to be affected. The strike will impact all operations and work centres in Spain and will occur between 5am and 9am, noon and 3pm and 9pm to 11.59pm. The union has stated its decision to strike stems from what it perceives as a failure to create stable employment and consolidate working hours for permanent part-time workers. Your rights if your flight is cancelled or delayed The unions said in a statement: "UGT regrets having to go to these extremes and all the damages that may occur, for which the direct responsibility will be solely and exclusively the company and its reckless action with the workforce." The FeSMC-UGT Air Sector is calling for the firm to reverse the penalties, adhere to Joint Commission recommendations and immediately begin negotiations to enhance working conditions for more than 3,000 affected employees across the country. A Ryanair spokesperson said: "Ryanair does not expect any disruption to our operation as a result of these third-party handling strikes in Spain." Recommended Reading: The news comes as Brits travelling to Spain from October onwards will also be met with a different-looking entry system. Instead of a paper stamp upon entering countries such as Spain and Italy, there will be a new digital scan. The changes will take place in Europe's Schengen zone within Europe.
