What to know about cocktail sauce
Cocktail sauce is ketchup dressed up with horseradish and a squeeze of lemon, and it inherits ketchup's problems. The concentrated tomato base makes it a moderate nightshade and moderately histamine-forming, the high-fructose sweetening pushes it high on FODMAPs and moderate on excess fructose, and the fiery horseradish adds pungent mustard-oil compounds on top. That is why the little pot of red sauce beside a shrimp cocktail can bother a sensitive person even when plain seafood is fine: the trigger is the sauce, not the prawn.
Watch for
- Built on concentrated tomato, so it is a moderate nightshade and moderately histamine-forming, the same twin load as ketchup
- Sweetened like ketchup, which makes it high on FODMAPs and moderate on excess fructose, a gut trigger in the amount people spoon over seafood
- Horseradish adds sharp mustard-oil compounds that can sting sinuses and stomach, a separate irritation from the tomato and sugar
- Moderate sulfite and free glutamate from the tomato concentrate and any Worcestershire or additives stirred in
