Five things you didn't know about ketchup packets The first Heinz ketchup packet didn't come about until , getting beat to the market by soy sauce packets, which came about roughly a decade earlier. According to Marketplace , food companies are very particular about the size of their ketchup packets. Despite the fact that they generally can be made in larger sizes, the market has settled on nine-gram packets , despite the fact that nine grams is clearly not enough since we use like six of them in a single serving.
Heinz sells a lot of these packets every single year—according to the company, that's around 11 billion or so every days , or two for every person on the planet. At nine grams each, that's about , tons of ketchup. Heinz uses more tomatoes than any other company in the world. While Heinz is by far the largest producer of ketchup packets, they're far from the only one.
And the largest fast-food chain, McDonald's, doesn't use them—although they used to supply 90 percent of McDonald's condiments. In fact, Mickey D's announced it was severing its ties with Heinz completely after the condiment company hired Burger King's former CEO as its new chief executive. Fast food beefs run deep, apparently. Ketchup packets are generally not very easy to recycle, because they're made of a combination of plastic and foil, and separating the materials is far more difficult than fusing them together.
