gourmet ketchup

Packaging commonly includes upside-down squeeze bottles with flip caps for convenient dispensing and resealable glass jars for small-batch sauces.

Some products advertise reduced sugar and reduced sodium, with label claims such as 33% less sugar with 50% less sodium and formulations explicitly labeled as 50% reduced sugar and sodium.

Options include unsweetened organic ketchup with no cane sugar or corn syrup, monkfruit-sweetened ketchup, and sugar-free formulations that state zero added sugars.

Ketchup is commonly used as an accompaniment for burgers, hot dogs, fries and other fried snacks, and as a dip, spread, or sauce base for a variety of hot dishes.

Some 14‑ounce squeeze bottles list about 23 servings and recommend refrigerating after opening; packaging also emphasizes easy, mess-free dispensing from an upside-down flip-cap bottle.
