What is the difference between fancy and regular ketchup?

The “fancy” designation, which you’ve probably seen on Hunt's bottles or McDonald's ketchup packets over the years, actually used to be the USDA’s highest rating for ketchup. It has (somewhat mysteriously) fallen out of use recently, though; its current equivalent is U.S. Grade A ketchup. Ketchup can get an A, B, or C grade. To get an A, ketchup has to be at least 33 percent solid and have good color, consistency, flavor, and finish, as well as earn at least 85 points on the USDA’s 100-point scoring system. The USDA still uses “fancy” to describe the quality of some other foods (apples can even be extra fancy), but by today’s standards, “fancy ketchup” is as meaningless as it sounds.

"Fancy" used to be a required term to indicate that the food in a can or jar had been processed (like peeling and coring) or had been flavored (like with the addition of seasoning or spices) It is a throw-back from when canned commercial foods first became available. When people bought a can of apples, they expected there to be whole apples in there, seeds, peel and all. So to designate foods that had been prepared in some way, like peeling and coring them - they were required to use the word "Fancy." In ketchup - the word "fancy" just means seasoning has been added to it and it isn't just sweetened tomato sauce in there.
