In Europe it’s pretty common to have non-Heinz ketchup, of which there are many[0] kinds[1]. Even in America, where Heinz is super popular, I can remember eating other[2] ketchups as far back as the 1980’s. And nowadays even my supermarket has fancy ketchups here in rural California, though that may be a CA thing.

- Scoundreller 5y agoHeinz hurt itself a little bit when they stopped making it with Canadian tomatoes and shut down a plant here, then a (US-based!) competitor (French’s) grabbed some market-share at the low end with a Canadian-based product. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/french-s-heinz-ketchup-leamington-sales-1.5102789 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/french-s-heinz-ketchup-leam...
- gscho 5y agoI much prefer French's and this news article makes it taste even better!
- qw 5y agoThe same applies to Norway. The most popular ketchup is not even Heinz, but a national brand https://meny.no/varer/middagstilbehor/ketchup-og-sennep/ketchup https://meny.no/varer/middagstilbehor/ketchup-og-sennep/ketc...
- stolsvik 5y agoIdun Ketchup FTW! Their new unsweetened variant, also with less salt and no preservatives, is pretty good and should be export material!
- animal531 5y agoAlso interestingly, for example here in southern Africa we don't really have ketchup, we only eat tomato sauce (as the closest relative). We did have a Heinz SA, but they are failing and will be discontinued. I'm guessing that all the locals stuck to their preferred brands and no one else made enough of an inroad.

Though I have not much use for Ketchup, so can't tell with certainty.
