McDonald's Ketchup
# McDonald's Ketchup

McDonald's Ketchup is ketchup sold by American fast food hamburger chain McDonald's.

## History and reception

The ketchup had been manufactured by Heinz for 40 years, from the 1970s until 2013 when Heinz hired a former CEO of Burger King as its new CEO. Since then, the ketchup has been produced in-house. The ketchup has been well received. In a 2022 comparison with the former Heinz ketchup, Bailey Fink wrote on Allrecipes.com that McDonald's ketchup was a bit thinner than the Heinz variant and as such did not coat the fry as much. Fink also noted that, while both ketchups tasted "tomatoey", Heinz's had a "big punch" of spice and recommended McDonald's Ketchup to those seeking a sweeter, more "tomato-heavy" flavor.
