Ketchup is probably the most popular and versatile condiment. Fries, burgers, hot dogs and – of course – Shepherd's Pie! Here are seven local ketchups to try… and embrace!
Firebarns
The ketchup, produced in Levis, is sweetened with quality honey from Portneuf and always made with 100% Canadian tomatoes! Psst! Other condiments, sauces and spices abound!
$6.99/500 ml – firebarns.com
Joe Beef
A Montreal product made from natural ingredients without preservatives. This ketchup — less sweet than popular brands — is a blend of tomatoes and red peppers.

Canada sauce
Natural ketchup – gluten-free – with an authentic and very “tomato” flavor, made and bottled in Saguenay with local products… including maple syrup! We identified it with a clean looking glass bottle.

MI Corazon
This Montreal company produces three varieties of ketchup. The classic version, but two versions with a little “extra”: a kimchi one (“kimchup”) and a chipotle one. For all tastes and it's organic!
$5.50/350 ml (*Except $7.50 for Kimchup) – lesalimentsmicorazon.com

Mrs. Labrisky
As Madame-Labrisky is known, we suspect her ketchup is made with… dates! Bingo! We especially love its texture and the fact that it's low in sugar, sodium and calories.

Ketchup mine
A legend says that in Padua, a small village in Bas-Saint-Laurent, there is a ketchup mine… and there are three ketchups that are delicious: the classic ketchup, the spicy version and one. Smoked with Nordic rum from Distillery de la Mitis (Mont-Jolie).
Smoked Ketchup $8/350 ml – Classic Ketchup: $6/350 ml — Spicy Ketchup: $7/350 ml – mine-de-ketchup.square.site

Saint-Zachary
When an artisanal ketchup comes from the Chaudière-Appalaches region, we understand why it's made with maple syrup! A perfect accompaniment to our delicious dishes!
