Condiments like mayonnaise, ketchup or mustard can be the perfect taste boosters for a casual meal. They’re kitchen staples, enhancing the taste of sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers and potatoes. But besides adding flavor, condiments can also add salt, fat and sugar to healthy food if people pour or spread them on too enthusiastically, dietitians say. There are countless condiments, classic and new, and the list keeps growing.
