Although it is not one of the most recurrent culinary debates, the way to store ketchup is an issue that often generates certain discrepancies. Some people accumulate jars and jars of ketchup and other sauces in the refrigerator, while others are reluctant to do so and prefer to keep them at room temperature. Which team do you belong to? Whatever your team, the most famous ketchup brand, Heinz, has unveiled the mystery on its social networks.
With a brief but clarifying tweet, the brand resolved any doubts on the matter: “FYI, ketchup is kept in the fridge”. In addition, it opened a thread adding a poll for its followers to choose fridge or cupboard. Of the more than 13 thousand tweeters who voted, 63% chose the fridge as the place to keep this ketchup. Detractors, on the other hand, commented with messages like “ketchup in the fridge is a crime”.
Already on its website, the brand states that refrigeration is the best way to keep ketchup properly, although due to its acidity, it is also safe to keep it at room temperature.
And you, how were you storing the ketchup until now?
