If you love ketchup and put it on everything, you might want to take this seriously! We're looking at a nationwide ketchup shortage because of the pandemic!
According to the Wall Street Journal, it's because so many restaurants are now doing more to-go orders, they're going through a ton of packets and prices are up 13% in the last 14 months.
We're also buying more bottles of ketchup at home than ever. In 2020, there were more than $1 billion in ketchup sales in the U.S. and that's 15% higher than 2019.
So, don't take it all off the shelves, leave some for the rest of us. But if you love ketchup on just about everything, you might want to stock up.
