Did you know? Red Gold Naturally Balanced Ketchup contains no high-fructose corn syrup and is made with sugar, and is 70% less sodium; it is the ONLY ketchup option with these attributes. Why spend extra sodium when you have great tasting options with Red Gold?

On National Ketchup Day, that's worth celebrating — especially when you're serving hundreds of students every single day.
