Halo + Cleaver, the St. Louis-based brand known for its low sugar,
better-for-you sauces, is now available at all 73 Fresh Thyme stores in 11 states.
“We’re thrilled to grow with a great retail partner like Fresh Thyme that shares our vision to
offer local communities sauce options without added sugars and artificial ingredients,” CoFounder Rob Garwitz said.
A 2021 winner of the Arch Grants competition, Halo + Cleaver increased its total door count to
over 300 including Fresh Thyme and Schnucks with two more large chains coming this summer
according to the company.
Halo + Cleaver currently makes four sauces including its flagship Perfect Ketchup as well as its
Backyard BBQ Sauce, Gold BBQ Sauce, and its recently launched Spicy Thai Chili Ketchup.
What sets Halo + Cleaver apart from its competition is its innovative blend of fruits like apples,
pineapples, and bananas to sweeten its pantry staple condiments like Ketchup and BBQ sauce
in place of the commonly used sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
“Low sugar products are trending more than ever as people look to reduce their sugar
consumption,” Co-Founder Matt Richard said. “But taste and flavor will always be king. That’s
why we worked tirelessly to ensure our recipes deliver on health and the sweet flavor that
people expect in their favorite ketchup and BBQ sauce. Fruits are the perfect solution on both
fronts – they are naturally sweet and better for you versus other commonly used sweeteners.”
