Can't wait until some scientific genius discovers that all these colors cause cancer in labratory rats as happen with a red dye years ago.

Perhaps that's the reason Heinz is trying to get away from red ketchup!
Gotta come up with something different before the product liability lawyers and the FDA dictate the color that they have to use!

This could also promote cultural diversity and open up new markets: (1)Black ketchup - Africa; (2)Yellow ketchup - China; (3)Mud-colored ketchup - Palestinians.

Options are endless and, Willie, you will happy to know it should keep those high paying, technical jobs at home!!!
