While some consider that the correct place to keep ketchup is the refrigerator, others go to confirm that its place is outside it, noting that supermarket shelves are evidence of this, but a famous American company settled the controversy.

After a question that sparked a fierce discussion on the communication sites about “Is ketchup supposed to be kept in the fridge or outside?” Glossy names such as Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B participated in it. The Heinz company, which specializes in this red paste, settled the controversy, confirming that its place is in the refrigerator.

International actress and singer Jennifer Lopez expressed her opinion on the matter, saying, “If you store ketchup in the refrigerator, it won’t work,” while rapper Cardi B tweeted that “people who put ketchup in the refrigerator cannot be trusted.”

But Heinz, which is considered one of the most prominent brands in the ketchup industry, explained in a tweet posted last Wednesday on Twitter: “For your information: ketchup goes to the fridge!!”

It should be… in the fridge.” The result showed that 63.2% keep it in the fridge. compared to 36.8% in the treasury.

In turn, Heinz explained that ketchup has natural acids, which makes it possible to keep it outside the refrigerator. But the site explained that the ketchup label recommends “keeping it in a cool place as soon as it is opened and used.”

A Heinz UK representative said: “There was one correct answer, which we are excited to share with Heinz tomato ketchup fans across the UK. Our ketchup should be stored in the fridge,” according to the Daily Mail.
