'Ketchup' as it is known today is not the original 'Ketchup', which came from Eastern Asia as a fish sauce.

Tomato ketchup In 1801 a tomato ketchup recipe was published in the Sugar House Book, a US cookbook.

Jonas Yerks was the person to produce tomato ketchup on a large scale.

By 1837 he was distributing it all over the US.

Other companies followed quickly.

F. & J. Heinz brought their tomato ketchup on to the market in 1876.

The Heinz company was established by Henry John Heinz in 1869.

There are no references to be found relating to an American German creating it in 1892.

But the 'Heinz 57' slogan was created by Henry Heinz in 1892 after seeing an advertisement for "21 varieties of shoes" in a New York train car.

Despite the fact that he company was making over 60 individual products, they chose it due to the special meaning numbers "5" and "7" had for him and his wife.
