The price of Heinz ketchup has doubled in the last two years - according to researchers from Which? A study found that a 460g bottle has seen the largest average price increase, rising by 53pc across the supermarkets.
The red mealtime staple has soared from £1.74 to £2.65 - prompting us to reconsider if brand is really best. We put three supermarket own-brand versions to the test - and perhaps to the surprise of some, Heinz was squeezed out. The famous tomato sauce lagged behind two supermarket brands - with one supermarket brand delivering all the flavour notes of the Heinz classic while being sold at less than half the price.
For this tasting, we tested it with a classic pairing - a plate of hot crunchy golden chips.
