      You’re very optimist if you expect ketchup to have any hint of tomatoes if regulations didn’t exist.

      It would be tap water, sugar and red food colouring.

      Doesn’t stop you from adding modified corn starch to it until it’s a weak tomato pudding/gravy. Wait, that’s what they already do. High quality ketchup was originally a jam (reduction of tomato fruit).
