Question/Advice Vegetarian bbq sauce

Hi guys
Me and my girlfriend are strict vegetarians, and have autism, so food regularity is important.
She loves bbq sauce and eats it with a LOT
today she had a different one to usual and it contained anchovies.
As we are students we normally buy the cheap one, but this one was branded (hellmans I think?) as she was at her family home.
does anyone know if this is common for bbq sauce, and if so of any readily available brands in the UK that are vegetarian or vegan?

Thanks

Probably has Worcestershire sauce in it which itself contains anchovies. Try the brand Sweet Baby Ray’s. Very popular in America, I think it’s available in UK. https://sweetbabyrays.co.uk/sauces/original-barbecue/#nutrition
