I just ate a snickers bar to see if it tasted right, yup it was delicious. ;-)
I don't think there's a federal standard of identity for "snickers bar" and I doubt there's a version made without sugar or other nutritive carbohydrate sweetener...

It's *sugar*!Sugar is a nutritive carbohydrate sweetener, but it is not the only one. Others include include glucose, fructose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and sugar alcohols (e.g., sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol), according to the Britannica.One or any combination of two or more of the following safe and suitable ingredients in each of the following categories is added to the tomato ingredients specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section: (i) Vinegars. (ii) Nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners. Such sweeteners if defined in part 168 of this chapter shall be as defined therein. (iii) Spices, flavoring, onions, or garlic.Combing the verbiage with a fine-tooth comb I conclude that per the standard, "nutritive carbohydrate sweetener" is in fact a required ingredient.You may say that one can leave out the sugar, and it will still legally qualify as ketchup. Apparently so, but it is not going to taste like ketchup.AFAIK federal standards of identity prescribe what must be in a product, but not what it is supposed to taste like.
