If it didn't have the tomato flavor I'd be interested in it, since I have super mild tomato allergy, but like... that kinda defeats the whole point?? I'm confused lmao
I dunno, with how mild my allergy to tomatos is I'm sure it's fine but with my other allergy (pineapple) I have found many "tropical flavor" foods/candy that make me have a reaction, so 🤷🏻♀️ I have no idea how it works tbh
It's used in a lot of sauces since it's both acidic and sweet. It's sometimes not listed in ingredients, such as BBQ chips - if the sauce they used for the flavor used pineapple, it won't list it, it'll just say "BBQ flavoring" or "BBQ sauce" or whatever. It's annoying lol. So I just avoid anything "BBQ flavored" unless I particularly feel like playing allergy roulette that day. Same with "sweet and sour".
There was a guy at our care facility, allergic to so many things, was only able to eat the same meal every meal. Also blind and a bunch of other problems, was really nice.
It was years ago but I wanna say the meal was plain canned chicken, pears and cauliflower
Interesting! It's possible she has something called Oral Allergy Syndrome, which is where something (like tomato) has a chemically similar makeup to something else that the immune system is allergic to. Usually cooking/processing removes the reaction because it changes the chemical makeup. At least, that's my understanding. I have OAS with figs, banana and kiwi.
Can confirm this is likely OAS. My dad "had" a nightshade allergy but could have tomatoes if they were cooked (+12 hours is what we did for safety). He just couldn't have anything within the nightshade family raw. I think a lot of people don't know the difference because we haven't been taught it.
I'm mildly allergic to pretty much all fresh fruits and vegetables. But the protein I'm allergic to breaks down with heat, so I don't have a reaction to stuff like apple juice or apple pie. Algeries be crazy
Different countries make ketchup out of different food. Guatemala does papaya. Phillipines has banana ketchup. Oyster and mushroom ketchup was popular before western style tomato ketchup dominated.
It's probably intended for people from a place that doesn't have access to the same products we have here. It might be what is usually served in some other country without easy access to tomatoes.
Because if you're so fucked you're buying ketchup type sauce cause it's cheaper that is just too grim to accept.
Filipino banana ketchup is quite sweet, too. While its historic purpose is as a substitute for tomato ketchup, that wouldn’t be my suggested way to serve it now. It’s best to regard it, I think, as a variety of sweet-and-sour sauce to go with stuff that one might think of dipping in sweet-and-sour sauce: those little meaty Filipino lumpias or perhaps even chicken nuggets.
This product is actually from Guatemala, is their version of ketchup they also make mayo and mustard. This product is quite popular in South America. As for the bag package I assume it was the most affordable option the time of creation. The company actually try to change the packaging a few years ago to a bottle and sells immediately decline, as it was believe to not taste the same.
Is this in the international aisle? I'm guessing it's ketchup made from a tropical fruit. That's very common in Asia and was developed due to WWII-era wartime shortages of tomatoes.
Yes it was in the international aisle next to the mayonesa in a bag, which I purchased. I might have to go back for this. It would take me years to eat it though I’m pretty sure since I barely eat regular ketchup.
I got a low sodium Heinz that also said Ketchup Style Sauce on it lmfao, I think ketchup, like jam, has a strict minimum-quantity requirement for certain ingredients.
