[The new COVID shortage: Ketchup sachets!
Increase in food deliveries sees a run on tiny
packets of America's favorite condiment
Restaurant chains across America are turning
to generic alternatives or to pouring the
condiment from big tubs into smaller containers
The shortage comes as Heinz has struggled
to keep up with a spike in demand
Restaurants across America shuttered last year,
with many
turning to take out and delivery only - sending single-serve
ketchup packets out to customers
Retail ketchup sales rose around 15%
from 2019 to 2020, topping $1 billion
COVID-19 safety precautions
mean bottles shared by different customers
are still a no-go even now restaurants
have reopened across America
Heinz is opening new manufacturing
lines starting with two in April to bolster
production by 25% to meet the rise in demand]
