    French’s ketchup is made from tomatoes grown in Leamington, ON. It was a huge deal when Heinz pulled out from their plant there & then French’s bought it.

      Yes, but still an American company. Since it looks like we have easy access to Canadian companies making ketchup in Canada using Canadian tomatoes, why not go the full Monty on this one? 😁

      Jokes aside. If Frenchs is all you can get, nobody is going to be upset. Employing Canadians is still important.

        I use sugar-free ketchup and don’t like the PC one… so French’s it was. Open to other alternatives.

        I did buy Primo as a stopgap when Heinz was the only sugar-free ketchup I found, though. Needs lots of shaking up to stay together but was otherwise fine.
