Now, Heinz, thetop-sellingketchup brand in the U.S., has finally settled the debate.

Understandably, users raised some questions.
So why is it on the shelves in supermarkets & shops then?
a user namedDaveasked the company.
To that, Heinz UKreplied, Where do you keep your soft drinks, Dave?
Like all important debates, there are arguments worth hearing on both sides.
Others insist that the fridge offers better results.
Because of its natural acidity, Heinz Ketchup is shelf-stable, Heinzsaida few years ago.
However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions.
We recommend that this product, like any processed food, be refrigerated after opening.
Refrigeration will maintain the best product quality after opening.
As a final warning, the fridge is not an all-saving grace.
TheUSDArecommends throwing away your ketchup after six months in the fridge.
So check that to keep an eye on that, too.
