ketchup (or catsup).

It’s Cat Soup, as I always told my kids.

The food Nazis are on the rise. Next thing, they’ll take out the cats.

Heinz currently produces low/no sodium ketchup. As with most other low/no sodium food products, it is around 3 times the cost of the standard.

I expect they will produce a ‘low sodium’ version.

Nope–instead of letting consumers choose for themselves, it’s all going to be ‘low sodium’. I realize they’re doing it ‘voluntarily’ (sneer quotes) to avoid federal regulation, same reason Wendy’s stopped salting their fries when they’re hot and wet, but it does seem like extortion. “Nice bottom line you got there. Wouldn’t want to see anything happen to it….”

If they change their ketchup formula, I will never purchase a Heinz product again. I’m a ketchup nut – they’d better not dare.
