FOR decades Heinz has been the UK’s most popular ketchup with fans claiming it absolutely can’t be beaten.
But with the rise in food prices, it has been getting harder and harder for shoppers to ignore than hefty price tag.
Consumer website Which? has blind-tasted rival ketchup brands and supermarket dupes to uncover the tastiest and most affordable on the market.
A panel of 76 ketchup fans reviewed six supermarket-branded ketchups from Lidl to Sainsbury’s judging them on taste and cost – and the winner might surprise you.
The ketchups were given an overall score on aroma, texture, appearance and flavour but the supermarket’s own label ketchups and branded ketchups were ranked separately.
Which? found that Lidl’s 45p offering was the best price, beating Heinz’s tomato ketchup.
Lidl’s ketchup was found to be £1.70 cheaper than Heinz and it wasn’t far off it taste.
