Tomato sauce maker Heinz sparked a debate last month when it urged people to store ketchup in the fridge rather than the cupboard.

Online supermarket Britsuperstore has now shared its tips on which condiments should really be kept in the fridge and what can be left out. Read on below to find out more.
