Watery Heinz Ketchup

Kat1170

Has anyone notice how watery Heinz Ketchup has become. The ad on telly used to feature people having to smack the bottom of the bottle to get it out but now it just pours out like water. Still the best tasting though

On the sameish topic, is there a difference between chef ketchup in bottles (seems much nicer) and those in plastic containers? I know its probably a trick of the mind but I enjoy the bottled ketchup much more.

maybe you're not shaking the bottle?

Maybe less modified starch? or whatever is in it. If put in the fridge it should pour less easily.

Some have good taste sensitivity and can pick up the taste the plastic imparts. Also they may undergo different sterilization/pasteurisation processes. Kegged beer, usually is treated less than bottled or canned.

Small Heinz glass bottles are quite cheap, if you look at the "price per kg" signs, and I prefer them

My mother refuses to believe that Heinz ketchup is more watery so she stood the bottle upside down on the table last week and when I opened it I got covered in ketchup.

I use the sqeezy bottle because it doesn't come pouring out.

My ma used to dilute the remainder of the bottle with milk to get the last bit out!

You posh bastard, my ma used to use plain old water

Maybe the ketchup is watery because the cost of tomatoes has gone up and they are putting fewer in relative to water? Tomatoes sure are costing more in the States over the past few months.

Not a bad idea using milk. You put mayonnaise and ketchup together to make "Marie Rose / prawn sauce" so i bet it tastes nice .

Note to self to check it out this weekend. (with chef ketchup though )

From a professional point of view Heinz is too runny like cheap ketchup versions, Chef is thicker and has a better colour when mixed with mayo imo.

chef is nasty, though their brown sauce is good. i like heinz, and it's only watery at the top, if you get one of them upside down squeezy bottles it's plain sailing.

Oh God, mayo is nearly as bad as milk in my eyes! Just leave the ketchup alone!

No actually I think mayo in the eyes would be worse than milk.

I do that, lovely stuff, I used to put ketchup out and mix in vinegar with a fork

kandee uses no sugar, just sweetener, dunno why they don't brand it as low sugar ketchup, would sell far more. Loaded with salt though, doesn't say how much which is the giveaway- something to hide.

Daddies ketchup all the way.
