Usually the sell by date, but it is still a good guide to when it is ok to eat the food. If it's too long after the sell-by date, it probably won't be good anymore.
The dates stamped on canned goods should indicate what they mean. The print will say, 'sell by' or 'use by' or 'best before' and so on, depending on food legislation in your area.
Wendy's the restaurant uses "Heinz Tomato Ketchup"

McDonald's uses a significant amount of Heinz ketchup annually, with estimates suggesting they utilize around 10 million packets of ketchup each year in the United States alone. However, after ending their partnership with Heinz in 2013, McDonald's switched to other suppliers for their condiment needs. Therefore, the exact amount of Heinz ketchup used in recent years is not publicly available.
I use it all the time on food It is for FOOD
It's always best to dispose of food items past their sell by date. In the case of English Mustard, my favorite, I'd get rid of it not long after - a couple of months would be fine, but a year is pushing it.
That's my theory as well...
Heinz ketchup primarily contains tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, and various seasonings and spices, such as onion powder and garlic powder. The tomatoes are typically sourced from agricultural regions in the United States, particularly California, where large-scale tomato farming is prevalent. Vinegar and sugar are derived from various agricultural sources, while the spices are sourced globally according to availability and quality. Heinz emphasizes the use of high-quality ingredients to ensure consistent flavor and texture in their ketchup.
They don't use mayo., they use McChicken sauce.
Heinz ketchup sold to restaurants with a 'not for retail sale' label is typically packaged in larger containers designed for commercial use, rather than individual retail bottles. This designation helps to prevent restaurants from reselling the product directly to consumers, ensuring that the product remains exclusive to food service outlets. It also allows Heinz to maintain pricing structures and brand integrity within the retail market. Additionally, it distinguishes the product's intended use and distribution channels.
In theory you can use anything after the sell by date. It just isn't recommended.
This depends entirely on the ketchup. Heinz normal ketchup contains tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, herbs and spices. Many strict vegans don't consider normal sugar to be vegan because it is refined with bone char. "The FDA has set a standard of identity for ketchup that does not permit the use of any animal products. Any deviation from this standard of identity would mean that the product could no longer be called ketchup [or be] sold legally under the name ketchup."
