This is the US regulation that defines "Catsup, ketchup, or catchup": https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=155.194 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfr... The USDA also has a grading system: https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/tomato-catsup-grades-and-standards https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/tomato-catsup-grad...
