Well... a few members of my wife's family works at a ketchup plant and they get it for us from the "company store". They have one recipe they cook and bottle for run of the mill store brands and will do custom batches if the purchaser has their own recipe. The funny thing is we've had bottles labeled for stores in just about every state and stores you've never heard of. One time we got a bottle packed for sale in Puerto Rico and another in New Zealand. We swore those two tasted different, but probably were the default recipe.
Sooo... I vote other!

What ever the wife buys!

Another ketchup related story...
My mom always made homemade ketchup from tomatoes in our garden. When I was old enough to think I knew something, I started complaining because it wasn't like the stuff at McDonalds, the school cafeteria, or my friend's house. I persisted until she gave up making it and just bought it from the store.
What I would give to have a jar of that ketchup (and my mom) around today.

Simply Heinz since it eliminates the high fructose corn syrup. We just tried the Hunts equivalent and do like it as well.
Which do you prefer Rich?

Heinz ketchup made in Canada.Originally Posted by Rich Engelhardt
No idea why however when I travel in the US the Heinz tastes awful........Regards, Rod.

Is that why it tastes so much different than the ketchup in Canada?
Corn syrup in ketchup?

Yes ketchup does have high fructose corn syrup, read the label.
Canada may have banned the use of high fructose corn syrup like they have in Europe. UPDATE just found out it is not banned in Europe. Its use is restricted because enough cannot be produced.
I know that Coke sold in Mexico uses sugar instead.

At age 67 some foods I've always liked ...just don't taste right. Ketchup is one of them. Seems more acid than before. I HATE for things to be my fault....but as Shakesauce said, " the fault is not in the sauce ...but in ourselves"

@ George ( and everyone else)
Simply Heinz is my favorite since it uses sugar instead of HFCS.

The stuff Aldi sells is fine.
What Aldi doesn't have, I don't need.

I switched to Simply Heinz after having some ketchup in Canada. Reminded me of the ketchup I grew up with. Once I figured out the difference was the corn syrup, I switched.

+1. It is a night and day difference in taste between Heinz and Simply Heinz.
