Tomato Ketchup is one of the most popular sauce in the world. There are many brands of Tomato Ketchup in Pakistan like Ahmed Tomato Ketchup, National Tomato Ketchup, Knorr Tomato Ketchup, Shangrilla Tomato Ketchup and many more. Most of the commercially produced Tomato Ketchups are made from Tomato Paste, prepared locally or imported from neighbouring countries. These branded tomato ketchup are easy to use but a load of preservatives are added in their products. Some times food colours are also added to maintain colour consistency.
