What happened
A local maker of ketchup, Osem, raised the minimum percentage threshold of tomatoes required to be called "ketchup" after seeing Heinz become more popular. Consequently, Heinz renamed its product "condiment" because it did not meet the new cutoff. The price of ketchup was noted to be about 5 shekels ($1.50) higher at a local store compared to a large supermarket.
