The point is that Ketchup should never have migrated. It should stay in China where it came from.
Well, I worked 37 years for the H.J. Heinz Company and have 22 years of retirement on a generous pension plan so I'm glad the company expanded to Canada and this excellent ketchup is still being manufactured here in Leamington, Ontario. Many migrant workers have been and still are employed in the tomato harvest each year. We have truly been blessed to have the weather and land and workers to provide ketchup and many other food products here. The company is now owned by 'Kraft Heinz Canada' and called 'Highbury Canco'.
And interesting statement on it's history - Ketchup has a surprisingly long evolution that originated in China. The first version was based on pickled fish and looked more like a soy sauce – with a dark and thin texture. It was called “keh-jup” or “koe-cheup,” meaning “fish sauce.”
You won't find any fish connection in the current product here.
In a thread for "Good things about migration", the good thing is that Big Tomato benefits from migration, and tomato products displaced the fish?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Big Tomato has a representative on Mennonet.
Strictly speaking, migration has resulted in a massive shift in tomato-based condiments in this country. You can blame migration for our cultural shift from:
Ketchup (a domestic tomato-based condiment), to
Salsa and hot sauce (immigrant tomato-based condiments).

So the question is, which condiment uses more tomato's, and which condiment makes Big Tomato more powerful? Seems Big Tomato might be behind all this migration. They had such success with the earlier migrants to America bringing pizza sauce. Now they figured out how to do the same with salsa.

You also have to factor in consumption rate. In my house we go through a bottle of salsa much faster than a bottle of ketchup.

Pardon me but is Big Tomato a thing? I don't know anything about it if it is.

It is similar to Big Pharma, Big Oil. Few years back it came out that they were behind all of the largest wildfires in the west. Was a big price fixing scam.
