Heinz Ketchup gets spicy twist with Sriracha flavor

PITTSBURGH — Heinz Tomato Ketchup announced Monday that it’s getting a spicy twist.

“We are thrilled to announce that Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor will join the beloved Heinz Ketchup portfolio,” said Joseph Giallanella, brand manager of Heinz Tomato Ketchup, in a written press release. “Building off of our successful line of flavored ketchups, fans told us that they would love another bold take on their favorite condiment. The new offering adds a new kick to your favorite foods and recipes, pairing well with cheeseburgers, French fries and hot dogs, and is the perfect flavor boost for chicken and eggs.”

The flavor comes in the familiar upside-down 14-ounce plastic squeeze bottle featuring a green and red label, according to the release on Heinz's website. It joins a line of flavored ketchups currently offered by Heinz, including Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Real Jalapeno, Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Balsamic Vinegar and Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup Blended with Tabasco Brand Pepper Sauce.

The new ketchup blend is now available at select retailers, including Walmart and Target locations, for a suggested retail price of $2.69.
